BITS Law School, under the aegis of BITS Pilani, in collaboration with PanScience Innovations has launched the Professional Advancement in Law through Executive Training & Technical Education (PALETTE) Centre dedicated to integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies into legal education.
The launch was held at India International Centre, New Delhi, in the presence of former Chief Justice of India, Dr DY Chandrachud as the Chief Guest for the event, and Attorney-General for India R Venkataramani as the Guest of Honour.
Founding Dean, BITS Law School, Prof (Dr) Ashish Bharadwaj, and Founder, Chairman, PanScience Innovations, Dr Anshul V Pandey led the launch of PALETTE.
PALETTE is a hub to build AI readiness across India's legal system. It will offer AI tools and hands-on training in AI-powered legal research, case classification, document review, and courtroom automation, with a strong emphasis on capacity building for lawyers, judges, judicial staff, and law students.
Chief Guest, Justice DY Chandrachud delivered the Presidential address.
"Lawyers today must not only interpret statutes but also understand how AI systems arrive at their recommendations," he said.
The highlight of the event was the live demonstration of Nyaai AI, a suite of tools developed by PanScience Innovations, featuring automated case summarisation, document classification, and predictive judgment analysis.
These technologies are developed with direct applicability to India’s Judicial system and are designed to revolutionise how AI is used across law firms, policy-making, and in-house legal departments.
Dean, BITS Law School, Prof (Dr) Ashish Bharadwaj added,
"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."
Founder and Chairman, PanScience Innovations, Dr Anshul V Pandey, remarked,
“AI is not here to replace human judgment but to augment it. Through PALETTE Centre, we aim to make justice faster, smarter, and more accessible.”
Beyond training, PALETTE aims to serve as a national and international thought hub. It will host global experts, conferences, and collaborative research initiatives focused on AI regulation, ethical frameworks, and legal innovation.
Strategic collaborations with legal-tech firms and regulatory bodies will ensure that the centre aligns with global best practices and emerging global challenges.
Recognising that the future of the legal industry hinges on collective expertise, PALETTE will emphasise collaboration across all spheres of the legal ecosystem.
This includes not only the judiciary but also law firms, general counsel, and academic institutions. This collaborative spirit was reflected at the launch event, which was well-represented by leaders from these diverse sectors, highlighting the essential partnerships required for AI-driven legal advancement.
By bringing together these stakeholders, the centre aims to work towards AI integration that is practical, ethically sound, and tailored to real-world challenges.
With this launch, BITS Law School and PanScience Innovations take a definitive step toward reimagining how justice is taught, delivered, and experienced.
