Vilnius is hosting a general convention of judges on Monday, held to mark the judicial centenary.

Rimvydas Norkus, chairman of Lithuania's Supreme Court and the Lithuanian Judicial Council, says that the judicial reform in Poland constitutes a threat to democracy.

Viktoras Aidukas, judge of the Criminal Trials Division at the Supreme Court of Lithuania who has been questioned as special witness in the influence peddling probe conducted by the Special Investigation Service, should step down from office, says Supreme Court chairman Rimvydas Norkus.

Lithuania's courts are regaining their prestige but there are many challenges ahead, noted Rimvydas Norkus, President of the Supreme Court of Lithuania, at the meeting with President Dalia Grybauskaitė.
