Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

A local community group seeks to challenge a newly proposed city ordinance that they believe will negatively impact their neighborhood. However, the ordinance has not yet been enacted or enforced, and there has been no direct harm to any members of the group. They file a lawsuit asking the court to declare the ordinance unconstitutional. Which of the following best describes the court's likely response based on the "case or controversy" requirement?

  • The court should proceed to hear the case since the community group has a generalized grievance against the ordinance.

  • The court should issue an advisory opinion to guide the community group on how to proceed with their concerns.

  • The court should dismiss the lawsuit for lack of ripeness, as the ordinance has not been enacted or enforced, and no actual harm has occurred.

  • The court should grant the injunction to prevent potential future harm caused by the proposed ordinance.
