Standing refers to the legal requirement that a plaintiff must have a concrete and personal stake in the outcome of a case; in other words, they must be directly affected by the law or action they seek to challenge in court. Without standing, a court will not hear a case. Class action lawsuits involve a group of plaintiffs who are all similarly affected by a law or action and therefore have standing to bring a case together. Plea bargaining and judicial restraint are not relevant to the concept of standing.
