Formed as the 'Liberal Democratic Party' in 2002, the party achieved almost immediate success with the election of leader [[Rolandas Paksas]] as [[President of Lithuania]] within its first year.  Paksas's [[impeachment]] led to the party reorganising itself as 'Order and Justice' to compete in the [[2004 Lithuanian parliamentary election|2004 parliamentary election]]. Since then, it was the fourth-largest party in the Seimas, and finished third in the [[2009 European Parliament election in Lithuania|elections to the European Parliament]] and [[2009 Lithuanian presidential election|to the presidency]].

The party sat on the right, possessed a [[Far-right politics|radical]] and [[anti-establishment]] identity, and has been described as both [[social conservatism|socially conservative]]<ref name="Mindaugas Jurkynas">{{cite journal |last=Jurkynas |first=Mindaugas |date=June 2009 |title=The parliamentary election in Lithuania, October 2008 |journal=Electoral Studies |volume=28 |issue=2 |pages=329–33 |doi=10.1016/j.electstud.2009.02.001 }}</ref> and '[[liberalism in Lithuania|liberal]]' or '[[right-liberal]]',<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.kas.de/en/web/litauen/laenderberichte/detail/-/content/litauen-am-vorabend-der-parlamentswahlen-20121 |title= Litauen am Vorabend der Parlamentswahlen 2012 |access-date=2023-01-12 |date= October 9, 2012 |author= Norbert Beckmann-Dierkes, Kristina Kviliūnaitė }}</ref> in line with its original identity.<ref name="Algis Krupavicius 2006">{{cite journal |last=Krupavicius |first=Algis |date=December 2006 |title=Lithuania |journal=[[European Journal of Political Research]] |volume=45 |issue=7–8 |pages=1166–81 |doi=10.1111/j.1475-6765.2006.00673.x }}</ref>  Its support was strongest in the north-west [[Samogitia]] region.<ref name="Mindaugas Jurkynas"/> The party's two MEPs sat in the [[Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy]] group in the [[European Parliament]], with the party having previously belonged to the now-defunct [[Union for Europe of the Nations]] (UEN) and [[Europe of Freedom and Democracy]] (EFD) groups.

In 2020, the party chairman [[Remigijus Žemaitaitis]] signed an agreement with the chairman of the [[Lithuanian Freedom Union (Liberals)]], [[Artūras Zuokas]], and former MP [[Arturas Paulauskas]] to unite their political movements to form the [[Freedom and Justice]] party. Žemaitaitis was later expelled from said party and founded a new party called [[Dawn of Nemunas]]. The party was ofically liquidated in January 2025.
