definition: The term "case or controversy" refers to the requirement that courts may only hear matters involving actual, ongoing disputes between parties with a concrete interest in the outcome. This requirement ensures that the judiciary only resolves real conflicts and does not give advisory opinions or engage in issues that are moot, not ripe, or non-justiciable. In the United States, this falls under Article III of the Constitution.
