After approval of the new edition of Outline of legal system reform, the second stage of the
reform proceeds rather slowly. Qualitative changes are especially missing in the reforming of expert
institutions. Discussions arose in the legal society concerning the very regulations of the reform of
expert institutions. The regulations specify that the Ministry of the Interior system’s “expert territorial
units and specialists (experts, criminalists-technicians) join the police units specialised by branches”.
Merely this fact contradicts the statement of the same outline about universal functions of the police.
The authors of the article maintain that an attempt to reform the system of expert institutions was
launched to implement without an elaborate strategy. The application of special knowledge was
divided, on the one hand, among specialised expert institutions of the Ministry of Justice, Ministry of
the Interior Affairs, Ministry of Health Protection and, on the other hand, functions of these
institutions have been duplicated without foreseeing co-ordination of their activities, creating a
concordant system and providing conditions ensuring its activities.
The article provides opinion regarding harmonising and development of expert, including
research in private, institution’s activities. This should be done on scientific grounds with reference to
the basic principle of the legal system reform, i.e. the legal system is first of all reformed for a more
efficient protection of rights of Lithuanian people by drawing priorities of the reform and more
constant reforming of legal institutions avoiding duplication of their functions, departmental point of
view which arises when the institutions self-reform themselves without outside co-ordination of their
activities.
