In a recent statement, Minister R. Tamašunienė highlighted the urgent need to increase funding for judges' teams in Lithuania, particularly focusing on improving salaries for judges' assistants and court psychologists. She pointed out that the current salaries are uncompetitive, which has led to a significant turnover of specialists within the judicial system. A motivated and properly structured team is deemed essential for achieving more effective and expedited justice delivery in Lithuania.

The minister underlined the importance of finding feasible and realistic solutions to enhance the salaries of judicial teams, asserting that their compensation should be approximately 40% of a judge's salary within the next three years. This initiative comes as part of broader efforts to improve the efficiency of the courts and speed up decision-making processes, which have been topics of concern in recent discussions about the justice system in Lithuania.

Additionally, the Ministry of Justice has been exploring financial strategies to implement these changes, following recommendations made by the State Audit Office in 2020. The report called for an assessment of the human resources necessary for the judicial system and the optimal number of judges required to ensure timely and efficient justice, highlighting a critical need for reform in the sector.
