Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the contemporary landscape, harnessing the power of vast datasets to automate complex tasks and deliver tailored solutions. This transformative technology is reshaping our approach to longstanding challenges. India is at the leading edge of this AI evolution, ready to use the rapid technological progress to achieve remarkable growth in technology.

Legal education serves as the cornerstone for promoting social justice, equity, and a robust democracy, providing individuals with the expertise to navigate a society regulated by law. To accomplish this objective, society must cultivate proficient lawyers who serve essential functions within their communities. This necessitates a comprehensive framework that enables legal practitioners to address the changing demands of Indian society.

The obstacles presented by globalization, rising expenses, and ongoing judicial delays highlight the urgent necessity for technological advancement in the legal field. India’s dedication to Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4) established in 2015, which prioritizes accessible and equitable quality education, corresponds with the National Education Policy 2020s objective to modernize legal education. By embracing global norms and new methodologies, the legal industry may markedly improve access to justice, safeguarding it as a fundamental right for all individuals.

After India’s independence in 1947, education was vital in fulfilling the moral needs of the newly liberated population. And, the main goal of the legal system was to realize the Constitution’s objectives, leading to the enactment of various laws for social reform, such as the Dowry Prohibition Act (1961) and the Hindu Marriage Act (1955). Today, India’s educational aim is to create a fair and just society. The Indian court system is struggling with a backlog of cases, corruption, and slow resolution times. The Supreme Court highlighted the importance of improving legal education to tackle these challenges and adapt to new global trends, advocating for the use of AI in the courts.

India’s current legal education and research framework is based on the common law tradition, and emphasizes upon critical thinking, teaching using Socratic methods, legal writing skills, oral advocacy, risk aversion, issue identification, and legal ethics. Although, these strategies have shaped generations of competent lawyers, yet they are now regarded as insufficient. Because, it places greater importance on theoretical understanding rather than on the practical abilities that are essential for contemporary legal practice. Lawyers are now anticipated to possess strong analytical skills and be proficient in utilizing legal technologies such as document automation and predictive analytics.

The expectations for newly graduated lawyers have changed considerably. They are now required to have robust technological skills, adaptability, and the capability to work alongside professionals from different fields, in addition to their conventional responsibilities in legal research and advocacy. Clients today look for legal professionals who can serve as strategic partners, grasping the connections between law, technology, and business. In this context, it is crucial for legal educators to integrate frameworks that align technical comprehension of AI with ethical and practical training. This method guarantees that students are prepared not just to use AI tools, but also to evaluate their results critically.

Consequently, the traditional method of legal education requires the implementation of more flexible and tailored curricula to tackle the growing complexities of legal matters in a rapidly globalizing and digital environment.

There is a notable trend towards incorporating AI literacy in various legal fields, prompting many law schools worldwide to either introduce or revise their AI courses introducing new courses centred around AI, such as Programming for Lawyers, AI Ethics and Privacy, AI and Experiential Learning etc. The National Law University of India in Bengaluru, OP Jindal University in Sonipat, and the Rajiv Gandhi School of Intellectual Property Rights in IIT Kharagpur have incorporated AI-focused courses into their curriculum. This initiative aims to equip students with the skills to utilize AI tools, addressing the technological needs of the profession, also understanding AI technologies can improve their job security and enhance their competitiveness in an ever evolving industry. Legal firms and experienced lawyers may expect younger associates to leverage generative AI technologies, given their familiarity with the changing tech landscape. AI will not replace lawyers; instead, those who adopt AI will likely excel over those who do not. An AI-focused curriculum can help cultivate lawyers who are less susceptible to being replaced. It is essential for students to not only learn how to use AI tools effectively but also to receive guidance on their optimal application.

While coding skills aren’t a requirement for lawyers but familiarize themselves with tools and platforms that are beneficial in the legal sector. Legal professionals can utilize these tools to streamline contract automation, conduct legal research, and monitor compliance effectively. This not only makes it easier to do analyses of vast datasets, automating complex tasks, providing customized solutions and uncover different interpretations of laws across jurisdictions, and can also assist judges with routine tasks which will allow them to focus on more complex issues.

The incorporation of AI into legal education is essential to meet the growing need for faster, more accurate, and accessible legal services. AI’s ability to perform tasks in seconds that traditionally take much longer necessitates a thorough overhaul of the legal curriculum to embrace digital advancements. Law schools in India are grappling with a pressing challenge such as outdated curriculum, many teachers are not well-versed in data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. This gap in knowledge, coupled with a resistance to shift from traditional teaching methods, hampers the integration of these technologies into legal education. Furthermore, the current infrastructure is inadequate for overseeing AI usage, as there are no clear guidelines for its proper application.

The Bar Council of India (BCI) is responsible for regulating legal education in India, established under the Advocates Act of 1961. The BCI’s primary role is to supervise the legal profession, ensuring lawyers adhere to professional conduct standards and safeguard the profession’s interests. Over time, the BCI’s mandate has expanded to include establishing standards for law colleges, including curriculum, infrastructure, faculty qualifications, and student admissions. This standardization ensures quality but limits the capacity of law schools to innovate and experiment with new approaches. Many law programs follow a strict curriculum, limiting opportunities for integrating innovative interdisciplinary subjects. The BCI has released a directive promoting the incorporation of subjects like blockchains, electronic discovery, cyber-security, robotics, artificial intelligence, and bio-ethics into curricula. However, law schools in India have neglected to integrate AI into their curricula, as the existing curriculum is extensive. Educators often shy away from integrating new technology in their classrooms due to the extra workload it entails. Even with access to labs and advanced tools, many schools struggle to deliver up-to-date, AI-enhanced learning materials. This gap arises from a lack of staff expertise in utilizing AI effectively, leaving students without the benefits of modern educational resources.

Ensuring digital inclusion is crucial for the sustainable integration of AI, as it ensures fair access to digital tools and resources for all students, regardless of their socioeconomic status or geographic location. Students enrolled in law colleges located in rural or semi-urban regions may experience a disadvantage in accessing technology and education in artificial intelligence relative to their metropolitan counterparts. Elite educational institutions and communities often have sophisticated digital infrastructures, such as high-speed internet, modern gadgets, and cloud computing resources, allowing them to adopt cutting-edge EdTech solutions.

Law schools in economically disadvantaged or rural regions encounter difficulties stemming from obsolete gear, unreliable internet connectivity, or a total absence of access to AI resources. The prevalence of AI materials and technologies in English constitutes a substantial obstacle to accessibility for non-English speaking students.

In addition to revising the curriculum to incorporate AI subjects, it is equally crucial to train the faculty and staff. This ensures that students are well-informed about the effective use of AI, fostering a sense of comfort and confidence. Such an approach is vital for achieving optimal outcomes in education and beyond.
