| Abstract [eng] |
The legal system in Lithuania follows the civil law legal system and is primarily based on the legal traditions of Continental Europe, particularly those of France and Germany. Lithuania’s judicial system consists of both general jurisdiction courts, such as the Supreme Court of Lithuania, the Court of Appeal of Lithuania, five regional courts, 12 district courts, special jurisdiction courts, including the Supreme Administrative Court of Lithuania, and two regional administrative courts (Lithuanian Courts Administration, 2023). Courts of general jurisdiction are responsible for hearing both civil and criminal cases. |
