Augustinas Janulaitis (1878–1950) was a Lithuanian attorney, judge, and university professor who specialized in the legal history of Lithuania. Janulatis studied law at the Imperial Moscow University but was expelled for participating in the 1899 Russian student strike. He was active in Lithuanian public life. He smuggled and distributed prohibited Lithuanian press and performed in America in the Bathhouse, the first Lithuanian play staged in Palanga. For such activities, he was arrested by the Tsarist police but escaped to East Prussia in 1902 and later Switzerland. He joined the Social Democratic Party of Lithuania in 1901 and edited its newspaper Darbininkų balsas. He returned to Lithuania in 1906 and managed to complete his law degree at the University of Moscow in 1907. He then worked as an attorney and was active in public life in Vilnius. At the start of the Lithuanian–Soviet War in December 1918, he briefly served as the acting Minister of Foreign Affairs. He then moved to Kaunas where he was appointed as a judge to the Supreme Tribunal of Lithuania. In 1919–1920, Janulaitis helped organizing the Higher Courses which were reorganized into the University of Lithuania in 1922. He taught mainly the legal history of Lithuania and became dean of the Faculty of Law in 1935. He was the founder and long-term chairman of the Lithuanian Historical Society. Janulaitis was a prolific author and published more than 660 books, articles, and other works. He was transferred to Vilnius University in January 1940. He was one of the first academic members admitted to the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences in 1941. However, the Soviets criticized him for his apolitical stance and for publishing an anti-communist book in 1925. Reportedly, he was not arrested because he was terminally ill with cancer. He died in May 1950.
