ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Jus Corpus is pleased to present the 5th Virtual Conference on “LAW IN THE AGE OF AI AND EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES: Regulation, Rights, Innovation and the Future of Justice”, scheduled to be held on 19–20 December 2026.
Building upon its commitment to fostering meaningful academic dialogue on contemporary legal issues, this edition seeks to examine the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence and emerging technologies on legal systems, institutions and society. As technological advancements reshape legal practice, governance, business, intellectual property and the administration of justice, they raise critical questions concerning regulation, fundamental rights, privacy, accountability, ethics and access to justice.
The conference aims to bring together academicians, legal practitioners, researchers, policymakers, technology professionals and students from India and abroad to exchange perspectives, present research and explore forward-looking approaches to the evolving relationship between law and technology.
Organised by Jus Corpus in collaboration with the School of Social Sciences and Interdisciplinary Studies, Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law, Punjab; the Centre for Corporate and Business Research, Dr. Ram Manohar Lohiya National Law University, Lucknow; and Chambers of Abhinav Mishra, Advocates and Solicitors, the conference aspires to provide an international academic platform for advancing responsible innovation, strengthening legal frameworks and shaping the future of law and justice in an increasingly technology-driven world.

CONFERENCE LEGACY
Jus Corpus has built a meaningful legacy through its four editions of the Virtual Conference on Women’s Rights, providing an academic platform for discussions on gender justice, social equity, legal empowerment, and the challenges faced by women across diverse societies. These editions brought together scholars, legal professionals, researchers, and students to exchange perspectives and contribute to the discourse on women’s rights and social transformation.
The 5th edition marks a significant evolution in the conference’s thematic direction. Moving beyond its earlier focus on women’s rights, this edition expands the scope of the platform to examine the broader relationship between law, artificial intelligence, and emerging technologies. Titled “Law in the Age of AI and Emerging Technologies: Regulation, Rights, Innovation and the Future of Justice,” the conference reflects the growing need to understand how technological advancements are reshaping legal frameworks, governance, fundamental rights, professional practices, and the administration of justice.
This transition represents the expansion of Jus Corpus’s academic engagement into an increasingly consequential area of legal scholarship. While the earlier editions focused on advancing gender justice and social equity, the fifth edition seeks to address the wider legal, ethical, constitutional, and regulatory questions arising from technological innovation.
Through this evolution, Jus Corpus continues its commitment to facilitating contemporary legal discourse, encouraging interdisciplinary research, and fostering collaboration among academicians, practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and students. The fifth edition seeks to establish a broader platform for examining the challenges and opportunities emerging at the intersection of law and technology, while contributing to informed debate on the future of justice in a rapidly changing world.
