The Cell for Law and Technology (CLT), National Law Institute University (NLIU), Bhopal, has announced the 1st NLIU-CLT Global Symposium on Law and Technology, in collaboration with Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas & Co. The symposium seeks original academic research examining emerging legal issues arising from rapid technological developments.
About the Symposium
The symposium will provide a platform for students, researchers, academicians and legal professionals to engage with contemporary questions at the intersection of law and technology. The broad areas of interest include data privacy, artificial intelligence governance, digital surveillance, algorithmic bias, children’s safety online, cross-border data flows, big data regulation and autonomous systems. The themes are indicative and submissions on other relevant technology law issues are also welcome. (LinkedIn)
The NLIU Journal of Law and Technology is an annual, double-blind peer-reviewed publication of the Cell for Law and Technology. Its previous volumes have addressed issues involving data protection, artificial intelligence, algorithmic accountability, cybersecurity, digital surveillance, fintech regulation and platform governance.

Categories of Submissions
The symposium invites submissions in the form of Long Articles, Short Articles and Case Comments. This provides an opportunity for contributors to present either detailed research on a contemporary issue or focused analysis of a particular legal development or judicial decision.
The call is open to students, scholars and professionals, including participants from India and abroad. Earlier NLIU-CLT calls have similarly welcomed contributions from academicians, legal professionals and students working on emerging technology law questions. (LinkedIn)
Publication Opportunity
Selected papers from the symposium will be considered for publication in a Special Edition of the NLIU CLT Journal of Law and Technology. The publication opportunity makes the symposium particularly relevant for researchers and legal professionals looking to contribute to contemporary scholarship in technology law.
The NLIU Journal of Law and Technology has previously published peer-reviewed scholarship covering several emerging areas of technology law and aims to facilitate meaningful academic discussion on the legal implications of technological change. (LinkedIn)
Abstract Submission Deadline
The last date for submission of abstracts is 25 September 2026. Interested contributors should prepare an original research proposal addressing a significant contemporary issue at the intersection of law and technology.
The organisers have provided the detailed brochure and submission information through the symposium announcement. Contributors should refer to the official brochure for the applicable submission procedure, themes and manuscript requirements before submitting their abstracts. (LinkedIn)
Who Can Apply?
The symposium is open to law students, researchers, academicians, legal professionals and scholars interested in technology law and related interdisciplinary questions. It offers an opportunity to engage with issues that are increasingly important for courts, regulators, businesses and society.
With technology continuing to reshape privacy, governance, digital rights and legal regulation, the 1st NLIU-CLT Global Symposium on Law and Technology provides a platform for researchers to contribute to the developing discourse on the future of law and technology.
