Before the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in Spokeo, Inc. v. Robins, courts frequently collapsed the element of “concrete and particularized,” requiring that a plaintiff merely demonstrate that the injury affected him or her in a personal and individual way.
But following the Supreme Court’s guidance in the Spokeo decision, courts are required to analyze the separate and independent element of “concreteness,” which the Court defined as “quite different from particularization.” This article examines that separate element and post-Spokeo decisions interpreting it.

Disability Law becomes Profit Center for Some
A quarter-century ago, the Americans with Disabilities Act required businesses to provide access to patrons in wheelchairs, including accessible parking spaces, curb cuts and ramps. The law left it to individuals to enforce the law. That provision turned the ADA into a cottage industry for lawyers who recruit clients from independent living facilities or disability rights groups and file lawsuits by the thousands against businesses with bathroom mirrors too high or ramps too steep – ultimately settling for several thousand dollars per case. One Texas man alone, represented by an Austin law firm, has filed more than 300 suits over the past 18 months, according to court records.
