1、 烟草诉讼——律师公益诉讼，官方主动发文
2001年，中心在全国范围内发起诉讼，状告国家烟草专卖局和国内24家大烟草公司在烟草宣传问题上隐瞒有害信息，案件引起海内外媒体的广泛关注。

1、Litigation against Tobacco Companies; Government issued Official Regulation
In 2001, the Children’s Center launched
a nationwide litigation against the State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau and the 24 largest domestic tobacco companies. It was submitted that these companies concealed the truth about the negative effects of tobacco in their advertisements and promotions. The case attracted wide media attention home and abroad.
The litigation process resulted in the State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau issuing an official document requiring tobacco companies to publish smoking hazard notices on their websites, and displaying the sign “Prohibition of Sale of Tobacco to Minors" at their sales counters.
2、 高攀案——未成年人获死刑，上书建议最高院收回死刑核准权

援助律师进行了大量调查取证，最后认为，高攀作案时年龄不满18周岁。针对此案暴露出的死刑复核问题，佟丽华律师专门上书全国人大，建议最高院收回流于形式的死刑复核权。该案对最高院收回死刑核准权发挥了积极作用，同时由于该案的广泛关注，另一案件董亚洲被改判死缓。
2、GaoPan Case- Child Death Penalty Case; Petition to the Supreme Court on Death Penalty Reform

Our lawyers collected a large amount of evidence proving that GaoPan was under 18 when he committed the crime. The Children’s Center Director Tong Lihua submitted a written statement to the National People’s Congress, petitioning the Supreme Court to recall the death penalty review power from provincial and county level courts. At the same time, the widespread attention in this case had positive influence on another similar case where another juvenile offender, Dong Yazhou was given a commuted death sentence, subject to review in two years.
