1Judicial Power and JusticiabilityBefore a federal court reaches the merits of any constitutional claim, it must have the power to decide the case. This chapter covers the limits of the federal judicial power under Article III, the control Congress has over federal jurisdiction, state sovereign immunity under the Eleventh Amendment, and the justiciability doctrines of standing, ripeness, mootness, advisory opinions and political questions. It closes with the adequate-and-independent-state-ground rule and abstention. Standing is the most frequently tested Constitutional Law issue on California essays.63 minFree
