Abstract

The management of legal terminology in Lithuania boasts a tradition spanning over a century. This period encompasses the emergence and refinement of Lithuanian legal terms. The preparation and translation of Lithuanian legal acts and the publication of legal literature in Lithuanian have played crutial roles in shaping this tradition. However, throughout history, various terminological challenges, including the absence of appropriate Lithuanian terms, have emerged. These challenges have been addressed by terminology commissions, the creators of term dictionaries, database developers, and legal practitioners. This article describes the evolution of legal terminology management in Lithuania across different periods, with a focus on the contemporary situation. Both the practice of legal terminography and the insights gleaned from establishing the Term Bank of the Republic of Lithuania are reviewed.
