The courts often decline to hear cases, citing threshold issues such as standing, mootness, or the political nature of the questions before them (Adler and George 1996; Fisher 2005; Genovese 1980; Howell 2003; Koh 1990).
Over the past two decades, doctrine has "gone south" on many issues central to public interest work such as standing, mootness, civil rights, attorneys' fees, civil liberties, welfare, prison reform, consumer protection and capital defense.
