ISAIL.IN @ GNLU Annual Legal Services Forum 2026 and what it means for AI + Legal Aid


This post deserved some time, since we were occupied. So here we go.


The Indian Society of Artificial Intelligence and Law participated as an AI Association Partner (Knowledge Partner) with the GNLU LSC of the Gujarat National Law University, Gandhinagar for their 7th edition of the GNLU Annual Legal Services Forum, 2026, and the Mediation Competition, which had an AI-specific theme this year.


Through our interventions, we made sure that the competition problems actually addressed AI-related legal issues, in a deeper way.


We recommended some legal experts, and legal technology entrepreneurs, to judge some of the rounds - and our President judged the final rounds with Siddharth Marwah, Khaitan and Co, and other respected luminaries.


We congratulate DreamLegal® for the launch of the LegalTechPolicy.com Playbook, and IAMC Hyderabad, LITT, CaseBench (Akansh Tayal), MikeLegal and Gupta Law Associates for supporting this prestigious forum. 🙏


Truly, the words of Director, GNLU touched us and we hope the ISAIL community can be of any help in furthering proper AI inclusion in legal aid enablement.
