The negative list mode shows the concept of the rule of law of "absence of legal prohibition means freedom" and shows the full protection to civil rights. Essentially, the case scope of administrative litigation is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the administrative counterpart, and its expression should accord with right attribute. At present, the mode of the case scope is difficult to achieve the purpose of full protection to the citizen's rights. The negative list mode should be introduced into the case scope of administrative litigation. Firstly, general provision of the case scope should be prescribed in a positive way, and then the excluded matters should be listed clearly. And all other cases that are not excluded belong to the case scope of the administrative litigation.
