The School of Law, DSU, is organising a Five-Day Faculty Development Programme (FDP) on “Integrating Artificial Intelligence in Legal Education: Pedagogical Innovations, Research Frontiers and Professional Applications,” to be held from 6th to 11th July 2026 in hybrid mode.
The FDP focuses on hands-on, industry-driven learning.

By the end of the programme, participants are expected to walk away with practical, ready-to-implement classroom tools and at least one preliminary research proposal/concept note.
