What’s standing and why should you care?

When the lawyers were figuring out a theme for this issue of News Brief, I couldn’t bring myself to tell them I didn’t know what they meant by “standing.”  I’m sure I’m not the only person who isn’t clear on the concept.

After reading and editing their articles, I think I get it. My hope is that after reading this issue those of you who, like me, aren’t lawyers will understand too; and that those of you who have legal training will learn a few things too.
