Few words by our Mentors
JUSTICE A.K. SIKRI
Former Judge, Supreme Court of India
This anthology is a significant addition to the literature on the emerging trend of
fusion of law and technology, making a case that technology is not just a mortar
between law and public policy but also a balancing instrument for multiple
considerations. Technology, law and public policy interact to create the ideal balance
that fosters equality, efficiency and justice. The book (“Law 2.0: Innovations and
Trends Shaping the Indian Legal Landscape”) makes a case that the role of AI
in law is two-fold: first, it helps the legal professional by making cumbersome tasks
like paperwork comparatively simple, and, second, it helps the client by making the
legal consultancy service inexpensive.
With the aid of numerous technologies, the ever-expanding field of laws gives us the
means to comprehend the formulation, operation and outcomes of public policies,
enabling a thorough examination that probes the core of a policy.

Law is an evolving organism. A law, inconsistent with the developments and
changes, loses the worthiness of being a law. Thus, constant evolution,
adoption of development and changes into the society are among the chief
characteristics of law. Technology, particularly the Information Technology,
with the dawn of 21st Century, witnessed the never before innovation with far
reaching impact, so wide and deep, that nothing under the sun could remain
unimpressed of the technological innovation and development. Law 2.0: Innovations and Trends Shaping the Indian Legal
Landscape, by Sanskruti Sirsat is another well-articulated and meticulous
effort in this direction. Her keen interest in legal technology has made her up

prove to be informative and engaging for the students of law, legal
