In this article, scholars review the origins of administrative justice in three Baltic states-Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia-when all three states declared their independence. In the article, the authors reveal the legal regulation of administrative justice, the procedural provisions of judicial review, the system of institutions that supervised the legality of administrative acts, and their jurisdiction during the period from 1918 to 1940 in the Baltic states.
