A few lawyers are proficient in data analysis or machine learning. These professionals with dual expertise can use this programme to find innovative methods to use data science to improve access to justice, increase settlement rates, and improve the efficiency of legal practice and the legal system as a whole, the statement added.
J M Vyas, Vice-Chancellor of the National Forensic Sciences University said: “We are immensely proud to introduce this new program that may change the course for the functioning of the legal sector. Being the world’s only university solely dedicated to forensic and investigative sciences, we aim to produce India’s most technologically advanced lawyers with the bigger goal of making the world a better and safer place to live.”
