About the Organizing Committee
The Committee to Organise Seminar, Workshops, Extra Murals, and Special Lectures was constituted and mandated to organize academic events at Dr. Ram Manohar Lohiya National Law University, Lucknow.
Overview
The study of interaction of law with the ever-changing technology is a critical matter now than ever before. Science and technology have profoundly influenced the course of human civilization and provided us with insights into the world we live in. It has played an essential role in transforming India and the world into a modern and industrialized society. Technology has evolved into various legal fields such as intellectual property rights, cyber law, space law, biotechnology, medical laws, environment laws, evidence law and even human rights.
This Seminar is an endeavour to invite views from cross-sections of the stakeholders on the legal issues relating to technology while learning from the tangle of the purported conclusions reached in the recent past by courts, regulators, technocrats, and commentators on these issues, and to churn out testable theories and suggestions in the field of technology and its legal aspects. The main motto is to widen the awareness about the interconnectedness of law, science and technology to academicians, research scholars, students and even to the common masses.
