The Rule of Law/Judicial Program brings together international judges, prosecutors, legal experts, and judiciary staff to engage with members of Congress and leaders in the judicial branch on upholding judicial independence, legal transparency, and best practices in legal writing, decision-making, and court procedures. Strengthening the rule of law in partner countries creates more stable and predictable environments for American investment and collaboration. Lithuania has made strides in the development of its legal system and has improved its ranking in the World Justice Project Rule of Law Index.
