The litigants of a court case are the individuals or parties involved in a legal dispute, typically referred to as the plaintiff (the party bringing the case) and the defendant (the party being sued). In some cases, there may be multiple plaintiffs and defendants.

Under the U.S. Constitution and the constitutions of many states, courts are only entitled to hear live cases and controversies. To be a live case or controversy, the litigants must be in dispute over something. A moot case is one where the litigants were disputing something when the case was filed, but later on, the dispute was rectified outside of court. For example, if a plaintiff sues a defendant seeking to enjoin construction of a building, the case would be mooted if the defendant abandoned its plans to construct that building after the lawsuit was filed.
State court cases begin in trial courts. They graduate up to the state level if one of the litigants is not satisfied with the decision of the lower court.

Interest group litigants can affect court decisions in indirect or direct ways. Indirectly they can influence the norms of the legal community by publishing documents in legal journals or submitting legal briefs to judges. Directly they can sponsor a litigant or intervene directly in a case.
