The law of standing tells us who may raise legal questions before a court. This collection explores that law with respect to the right to raise constitutional issues in twelve different countries. The meaning of constitutions is, more and more, worked out in the course of judicial decision. The force of constitutions depends largely on the opportunities judges have to expound it. Consequently, decisions on standing are, in important ways, decisions on how constitutional law is made. These essays open important insights into the implications of this law for defining a constitutional order.
