D. Petrylaitė is convinced that it did not violate these prohibitions. However, the former CC judge Vytautas Sinkevičius believes that judges can participate in pedagogical activities in a higher education institution with which they have a permanent employment relationship: “It is difficult to classify such activities as pedagogical or creative activities. There are more signs of business and commercial activity in this case, and the judge should not get involved in that ”, V.Sinkevičius is convinced.

In 2016, the Constitutional Court clarified that pedagogical activities are related to teaching, teaching, upbringing in educational and educational institutions (including higher education institutions), and creative activities aim to create a work of science, technology, culture or art.
