Question

Discuss how the concepts of standing and ripeness affect the justifiability of a cause of action.

Answer 1

Standing and Justifiability: Standing in judicial lexicon refers to the case that substantially establishes strong relationship between the litigant and case. Applicant or litigant must prove before the federal court that case has particular relation with him or litigant has been affected by the case directly.

Ripeness and Justifiability: it tests if case or law is ready to be reviewed. Law that related to future or its repercussions are going to unfold in near future, then federal court tests the ripeness of case. Such cases are not heard. Unambiguous laws or laws which were never applied come under this category. Its main goal is avoid the cases of premature adjudication.
