Group 2: Characteristics of the Released Cases - The selected typical cases highlight the "litigation" characteristic of public interest litigation, addressing key issues and challenges within the field [3]. - The release of these cases serves as a significant guide for handling similar cases, demonstrating that a single case can be more effective than numerous documents in driving action [2].

Group 4: Real-World Implications of Litigation - In several administrative public interest litigation cases, the procuratorate identified issues of inaction by administrative bodies, leading to the initiation of lawsuits that followed through the entire litigation process [5]. - The ability to pursue litigation to completion, even after administrative rectifications, demonstrates the effectiveness of public interest litigation in ensuring accountability [5][6].
