This summer on 18-20 August DEMISTIFY – Criminology Festival took place. The researchers from LCSS Law of Institute attended the festival. One of them, Dr. Skirmantas Bikelis, presented the topic "How much truth is there in the legend that the Lithuanian Criminal Code was prepared by using German Criminal Code?" and debunked myths.

The audience, which was seated on hay cubes and gathered around Dr. Bikelis, was presented with a number of issues that are fundamentally different in Lithuanian and German criminal law (which disproves the legend): the regulation of fines, the liability for endangerment, theft, drug distribution and a completely different approach to the discretion of judges.
