A major highlight of the event was the live demonstration of Nyaay AI — a suite of tools developed by PanScience Innovations — featuring automated case summarisation, document classification, and predictive judgment analysis. These technologies are designed to revolutionise how AI is used across law firms, policy-making bodies, and in-house legal departments.:contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
Prof. (Dr.) Ashish Bharadwaj observed: Legacy firms, boutique practices, and in-house corporate legal teams are emerging as early adopters of AI in a deeply protocol-driven system. With High Court judges managing 5,000–15,000 cases and an average clearing time of five years, the shift to legal-tech is both timely and necessary.:contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
