The competition serves as a platform for aspiring legal minds to engage critically with one of the most transformative developments of our time — AI’s increasing integration into legal frameworks.

Competition theme and subtopics

This year’s overarching theme is AI and the Law: A New Era of Legal Innovation. Submissions may choose from the following suggested subtopics:

• The legal gaps in India’s unregulated AI surveillance

• India’s AI-driven legal future: Opportunities and emerging trends in 2025

• AI on trial: Legal dimensions of intellectual property in India

• Lawyers must stay rooted in legal knowledge, not solely rely on technology

• AI can speed up court cases and cut out legal jargon

• AI and the use of human centricity in Copyright Law

• Increasing use of AI in IP raises ethical concerns

Each article must develop its own title based on the chosen theme or sub-topic.
