About Techtonic
The NLIU-CLT Law and Technology Fair: ‘Techtonic’ is a
major flagship event annually organized by the NLIU Cell
for Law and Technology. It provides a chance for aspiring
lawyers to explore their talent as policymakers as well as
gain insight into various technology law-related issues,
plans and solutions. The two major highlights of this event
are the Policy Case Competition which provides the
students with an opportunity to question, analyse and
improve upon the law on a pressing policy matter and the
Round Table Conference which includes a panel discussion
with renowned industry experts.

‘Techtonic 2024’, which is the second edition of CLT’s flagship

event, is scheduled to be held from 2nd - 4th February 2024.
