The concept of judicial standing, often called just "standing" or "locus standi," refers to the right of a litigant to bring suit.

Standing is a prerequisite in order to bring suit in a court of law, and means that the litigant must have been harmed or is in imminent danger of being harmed by actions of the defendant, and that the court can provide redress. If the court determines that the litigant lacks standing -- in other words, that the litigant has not been harmed nor is in any danger of imminent harm by actions of the defendant -- the court will likely dismiss the case.
