About Centre of Excellence in Law and Technology

The purpose of the Centre for Excellence in Law and Technology is that it seeks to establish the relationship between law and technology whose significance is undebatable, as the law must cope with technology in order to legitimise it. It organises guest lectures from eminent personalities, recognised and learned men of the society on technological law issues in order to address and discuss the issues related to law and technology and make better understanding.

It conducts workshops on different aspects of law and technology combined together such as artificial intelligence, data privacy, legal startups and digitalisation in a very informative way. It undertakes to promote the hand in hand working of law and technology and to depict how both are required for one another for the smooth functioning of both the tech world and the judicial system of the country. The Committee also encourages to bend the profession towards adopting new technologies in this field.
