institutional litigant

Read a random definition: remargining

A quick definition of institutional litigant:

An institutional litigant is a group of people who bring lawsuits not only to win but also to change the law or defend an existing law. These groups, such as labor unions or trade associations, have a long-term interest in the development of the law. They may take a case to court to bring about a change in the law or to protect an existing rule against a change sought by another group. When these groups are involved, a judicial proceeding may take on the nature of a legislative hearing.

A more thorough explanation:

An institutional litigant is a group that brings lawsuits not only to win but also to bring about a change in the law or to defend an existing law. These groups have a long-term interest in the development of the common law and may take a case to litigation for the purpose of bringing about a change in the law or defending an existing rule against a change sought by some other group.

  • Labor unions
  • Trade associations
  • Environmental groups

These groups are examples of institutional litigants because they have a long-term interest in the development of the law and may take a case to litigation to bring about a change in the law or defend an existing rule against a change sought by some other group. For example, an environmental group may bring a lawsuit to challenge a government decision that they believe will harm the environment.
