W stronę konstytucji jurysprudencyjnej
Towards jurisprudential constitutions

Summary/Abstract: In the XX century, before the loss of independence, Lithuania had six Constitutions within two decades. Since the state restored its independence in 1990, it has had three Constitutions (albeit one just for a brief moment). The history of Lithuanian Constitutions is briefly presented. The first part of this paper is dedicated to an overview of the development of Constitution and related laws during the first stage of existence of the independent Lithuanian state (1990-1992). The Constitution of 1992 is the longest valid one. The article is an attempt to describe the way how, due to the activity of the Constitutional Court, it has developed into a living jurisprudential reality. It is exemplified with some cases which have been dealt with by the Constitutional Court.
