Research on the Current Operation Status and Improvement Measures of the Public Interest Litigation System

Abstract

After more than ten years of development, the public interest litigation system has become an important legal force for protecting
national interests and social public interests. The scope of the case has expanded from the initial four areas to more than ten statutory areas,
and the quality and efficiency of case handling have steadily improved, forming a preliminary pattern of collaborative governance. However,
issues such as imbalanced litigation structure, ineffective cross regional jurisdiction mechanism, insufficient investigation and evidence collection power, disorderly expansion of new fields, and fragmented legislative system constrain the development of the system. We should
promote the high-quality development of the public interest litigation system by establishing the principle of priority in administrative public
interest litigation, improving cross regional jurisdiction mechanisms, strengthening the rigidity of investigation and evidence collection, standardizing standards for expanding new fields, and promoting specialized legislation.
