Organised by

SCHOOL OF LAW, GALGOTIAS UNIVERSITY In Collaboration with DR. B.R. AMBEDKAR NATIONAL LAW UNIVERSITY, SONEPAT, HARYANA SKS Partners (Industry Partner) Through CENTRE FOR COMPARATIVE LAW School of Law, Galgotias University

Rationale

Constitutional democracy is tested most profoundly during periods of crisis. Emergencies, threats to national security, institutional conflicts, technological transformations and social polarisation can place significant pressure upon constitutional institutions and individual freedoms. In such circumstances, the rule of law, judicial independence and protection of fundamental rights become particularly significant. Hon’ble Justice H.R. Khanna’s legacy provides an important starting point for examining these questions. His jurisprudence demonstrates the importance of judicial conscience and principled constitutional reasoning in safeguarding liberty and maintaining the balance between State authority and individual rights. The proposed competition seeks to move beyond a purely commemorative exercise and create a substantive academic engagement with the larger constitutional questions embodied in Hon’ble Justice Khanna’s legacy. The involvement of the Centre for Comparative Law, Galgotias University further enables participants to examine these questions from comparative and interdisciplinary perspectives, drawing upon constitutional experiences from India and other democratic jurisdictions.

Essay Themes

Participants may choose any one of the following themes:

1. Constitutionalism in Times of Crisis: Protecting Liberty Against the Excesses of State Power

2.Judicial Independence and the Preservation of Constitutional Democracy

3. The Constitutional Value of Judicial Dissent

4. Fundamental Rights and the Limits of State Power

5. Judicial Courage and Constitutional Governance

6. Emergency Powers and Constitutional Safeguards: Lessons for Modern Democracies

7. Human Dignity and the Expanding Horizons of Fundamental Rights

8. Constitutional Democracy Beyond Majoritarianism: Protecting the Individual

9.Judicial Dissent and Constitutional Development: A Comparative Perspective

10. National Security and Civil Liberties: Finding the Constitutional Balance

11. Constitutional Democracy in the Digital Age: Privacy, Surveillance and State Power

12. The Rule of Law and Democratic Resilience: Lessons from Constitutional Crises

Participants may adopt a doctrinal, comparative, interdisciplinary, historical or contemporary perspective, provided that the essay substantially engages with the central theme of the competition.

Faculty Organizer:

Mihailis E. Diamantis (University of Iowa)

Student Organizer:

Jacob Levine (Symposium Editor, HJOLT Volume 40)

As the world increasingly runs on AI, humanity has yet to discover how best to curb AI harms. Current legal policy and scholarship emphasize two strategies. The first imposes liability on people after their AI causes harm. The second regulates AI more directly—its development and its deployment—but before harm occurs. “Disciplining AI” will explore a third approach: directly intervening with AI after it causes harm. Co-hosted by the Harvard Journal of Law and Technology and Iowa’s Innovation, Business, and Law Center, symposiasts will convene for an in-person event on April 2, 2027, at Harvard Law School. They will consider the possibility and advisability of applying sanctions, or sanction-like responses, to AI.

We welcome all methodologies and all fields of study. Perspectives may constructively or critically engage any step of the disciplinary process, from articulating liability standards, to detecting violations, to crafting interventions. HJOLT is particularly interested in submissions that engage one of the following four subthemes:

1. Corporate Law and Personhood: Must AI be a legal person for the law to discipline it? What sort of legal person would AI be? Could existing legal structures facilitate the introduction of AI legal personhood, e.g. by creating corporations that are co-extensive with an AI system?

2. Theories of Punishment: What model of discipline is best suited to AI? Does or could AI have the sort of “motivation” needed for deterrence to work? Is it possible to “rehabilitate” AI? Could targeted incapacitation prevent future offenses?

3. Civil Liberties: What Constitutional protections does AI discipline implicate? Free speech? Due process? Takings? Would these safeguards protect AI itself or those who develop and deploy it?

4. Implementation: Which jurisdiction has the power or the authority to discipline AI? Do we need an international framework? Within the United States, which agencies are relevant? What role could there be for non-state actors, including market forces, private coordination, or the technical research community?

Authors of accepted proposals will prepare essays (maximum 8,000 words) for presentation at the symposium and subsequent publication in Volume 40 of HJOLT. Symposiasts will each receive an honorarium of $1750 to defray the costs of travel and accommodations. Invited symposiasts include Ryan Abbott (Surrey), Joanna Bryson (Hertie School), Pauline Kim (WashU), Frank Pasquale (Cornell), Alexander Sarch (Surrey), and Jordi Weinstock (Harvard).

To apply to “Disciplining AI,” please submit an abstract (300-500 words) and CV to jolt.symposiums.editor@gmail.com, with CC to mihailis-diamantis@uiowa.edu, by October 26, 2026. Abstracts should clearly indicate which (if any) of the four subthemes above they engage.
