The guest lecture on “AI and the Future of Advocacy” serves as a strategic academic initiative aimed at preparing early-year law students for the rapidly evolving legal landscape. The session critically examines how artificial intelligence is reshaping core legal functions such as research, due diligence, and drafting, thereby redefining the role of lawyers from traditional practitioners to “augmented professionals.” By drawing on Mr. Bhushan Panse’s extensive experience in complex real estate transactions, the lecture contextualizes AI as a tool that enhances precision, efficiency, and risk assessment in high-stakes legal work. The analysis highlights the event’s role in bridging the gap between doctrinal learning and industry expectations, particularly for 1st and 2nd-year students. It also encourages a shift in perception viewing AI not as a threat but as an enabler of professional growth. Ultimately, the session fosters critical thinking on ethical, practical, and technological dimensions of modern lawyering.
