Education is the milestone of a society committed to nurturing values and principles for a better world. A road map to such an endeavour must include a strong legal structure holding its people both free and answerable. The torchbearers of such a fundamental structure need to be prepared to ensure justice in a society. Thus, legal education, trusted with the responsibility of preparing young minds to be efficient lawyers, holds a crucial place in the making of such a society. Today, with the intriguing process of globalisation, digitization, and modernisation, law schools need to engage in an all-encompassing process of education. Along with traditional litigating skills, and the expanding corporate workspace, legal education needs to include an inter-disciplinary, technologically-enhanced edifice. To achieve this, it is imperative that stakeholders from across academic and professional disciplines engage in an all-inclusive discussion.

With this aim, the conference endeavoured to facilitate a national-level forum for discussion on redefining legal education in India. The purpose of the conference was to bring forth suggestions and recommendations by legal practitioners and allied stakeholders to arrive at a comprehensive curricular model. In the course of these academic dialogues, crucial deliberations on legal education served to provide effective academic outcomes. The proceedings of the conference bring to the reader these valuable inputs paving way for a futuristic framework for legal education.
