The ₹1 lakh prize money shows how seriously they're taking this. Hope it inspires more students to explore tech-law intersections!

Good initiative but I wonder how much practical impact this will have. Most law colleges still teach outdated curriculum without tech integration.

Attended last year's event and it completely changed my perspective on cyber law careers. The mock trials were especially helpful!

Great to see Gujarat leading in legal education innovation. Other states should take notes from NFSU's approach to modern legal training.
