Following this theme of modernization, Prof. (Dr.) M. Afzal Wani highlighted the necessity of a holistic approach to legal studies, specifically calling for a careful amalgamation of Artificial Intelligence with professional ethics. The discourse also touched upon the philosophical and practical training of future lawyers. R.B. Sharma (Legal Advisor, LPAI) noted that beyond formal education (Shiksha), the spiritual and ethical initiation (Diksha) of a student is essential for true professional development. Complementing this, Pramod Kumar Goel (Former District & Sessions Judge) urged students to begin conducting themselves as “Officers of the Court” during their time in law school, noting that courtroom exposure is vital for becoming effective advocates. Social equity remained a core focus of the deliberations. Prof. (Dr.) Nuzhat Parveen Khan delivered a poignant address on inclusivity, advocating for the integration of specially-abled and transgender students into the mainstream and ensuring that marginalized voices are never ignored.

Raghavender provided a comprehensive overview of the scope of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in contemporary academics. Adv. Rodney D. Ryder discussed innovation and professional practice in the age of AI, while Adv. Juhi Arora spoke on the increasing necessity of mediation and the importance of providing students with practical exposure to Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR).
