Juridiniai

Juridiniai is a Lithuanian adjective in its masculine plural form, used to describe things related to law or the legal system. It stems from the word juridinis and is common in legal, administrative, and formal discourse to denote matters that concern law, rights, or legal processes. In everyday language it appears in phrases such as juridiniai dokumentai (legal documents), juridiniai klausimai (legal questions), or juridiniai veiksmai (legal acts).

In legal terminology, the term is closely associated with the concept of juridiniai asmenys, which translates to legal entities. Juridiniai asmenys are entities recognized by law as having rights and obligations separate from individuals. They can own property, enter into contracts, sue and be sued, and their liability is typically determined by their statutory form. Typical examples include corporations and other registered organizational forms such as a UAB (uždaroji akcinė bendrovė) or AB (akcinė bendrovė), as well as foundations and associations. Juridinis asmens status is usually established by law and formal registration, and it enables the entity to operate within the legal framework while acting through designated representatives.

The term also covers broader legal contexts, including juridinės normos (legal norms), juridiniai procesai (legal processes), and juridinis statusas (legal status). Distinguishing juridinius from fizinius asmenis (natural persons) is common in civil and commercial law: fiziniai asmenys are individual human beings, whereas juridiniai asmenys have separate legal personality.

Overall, juridiniai serves as a foundational descriptor in Lithuanian legal language, applied to concepts, documents, and actors connected to law and regulation.
