This article examines the relationship between law and social movements by analysing civil environmental public interest litigation in China after 2015. Based on the fieldwork in China, this research examines the dynamics of environmental legal mobilization and identifies the support structure that mobilizes legal actions. This article finds that three main frames will impact the support structure in a way that social groups need to construct a consensus with state authorities: (1) assisting the government; (2) advocating policy change and promoting legal reforms; and (3) resolving local environmental problems. This research sheds new light on legal mobilization theory and argues that China’s legal reform will open new pathways for robust social participation and signify a more formal rule of law
