Reform: Turning Legal India into a Powerhouse

With the Indian economy set to be the largest in the world by 2050, is India’s legal profession keeping pace? What are the reforms needed to ensure that Indian lawyers can enable business and society to flourish? How can young people access legal careers and develop into world-class legal advisers? This session explores the challenges, the potential solutions and outlines a roadmap for Indian lawyers who want to be part of the change.

The Augmented Human

As more lawyers use AI, the questions on how to teach judgement intensify. But an even more pressing concern is how to deal with lawyers not wanting to make the mental effort – in effect – cognitively surrendering work to AI. What are the best strategies to ensure lawyers use the technologies at their disposal to enhance their judgement?
