Con Law
Case or Controversy Requirement
There must be a genuine, ongoing dispute across all review levels, not just at the time of filing. To determine whether a case or controversy exists, the case must satisfy requirements for standing, ripeness, and mootness, and must not present a political question. If moot, a case is dismissed, unless recurring wrongs evade review, defendant voluntarily stops but could restart the challenged action, or a class action member has an ongoing injury.
