Changes since 1990 Since Lithuania restored its independence on 11th of March, 1990 and regained the sovereignty, it faced a task of establishment of legal system of Republic of Lithuania as a result of destruction of its legal system made by Soviet Union which then forced Lithuania to adopt soviet legal acts.

As far as legal science of Lithuania and legal science itself were ceased for the period of soviet occupation and since Lithuania restored its independence there were made circumstances to continue the development of legal science, in this final master thesis is specified the meaning of legal science in the system of sources of Law of the Republic of Lithuania.
