ABOUT : Academic legal writing involves precise and
well-reasoned analysis of legal issues. The
emergence of technologies aiding legal
research, collaborative writing tools and the
impact of Artificial Intelligence on legal
analysis has a significant effect on academic
legal writings. Along with the use of
technologies for aiding legal writing,
adapting traditional legal writing skills to
meet contemporary challenges is also
important. The International workshop aims
to provide a common platform for
academicians, researchers and students to
learn and exercise the different elements of
academic writing in law via both inter
disciplinary and intra disciplinary
approaches. It is with great expectations that
the Alumni Association, Department of Law,
Central University Kerala in association with
the Department of Law, Central University
Kerala is organizing a three-day
International Interactive Workshop on Legal
Academic Writing on 17th, 18th and 19th
January, 2024. The organizers of the
