In law, the status of being qualified to bring a legal matter before a court because one has a sufficient and protectable interest in its outcome.

The courts have ruled that a plaintiff who has suffered or is threatened with actual injury (physical, economic, or other) clearly has standing. A plaintiff who cannot demonstrate such injury will lack standing and therefore be unable to bring a case.
