Federal Practice Manual for Legal Aid Attorneys: 3.1.14 Associational Standing
An organization or group may have standing to sue on its own behalf, to seek judicial relief for injury to itself and to assert its own rights as an organization. Groups may also have standing in a representative or associational capacity, in order to assert and represent the rights of its members. This latter form of standing is an exception to the general prohibition on third-party standing, discussed below.
