history
Apygardos teismas already existed in the 18th century of the Republic of Both Nations . Such courts were established by law by the Seimas . In the Lithuanian territory of the Russian Empire , there were also district courts in Vilnius and Kaunas , in the capitals of the Russian gubernia . Apygardos teismas also existed after the declaration of Lithuanian independence. The Lithuanian district courts were dissolved after the Soviet occupation. Thereafter there were no comparable district courts in Soviet Lithuania . The Lithuanian district courts were only re-established in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda Šiauliai and Panevėžys after the regaining of Lithuanian independence . The district courts in the territory of the corresponding district courts were subordinated to each district court.
