Law ministry depts to create citizen-centric legal system

NEW DELHI, JUL 3 (PTI): Two key departments of the Union law ministry will go into a huddle for the next two days to discuss the future roadmap for building a modern, efficient and citizen-centric legal system.
The Department of Legal Affairs, which advises the government on complex legal issues, and the legislative department, which helps ministries draft bills and crucial documents, will hold a ‘chintan shivir’ in Mount Abu on Saturday and Sunday.
A statement said the two-day programme is being organised to review the Ministry’s key achievements, highlight important legal and institutional reforms, and discuss the future roadmap for building a modern, efficient and citizen-centric legal system in line with the vision of Viksit Bharat @2047.
The programme will be attended by Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal, where the ministry’s vision for an efficient, technology-driven and citizen-centric legal ecosystem will be presented.
The programme will include thematic presentations and brainstorming sessions on legal governance, Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR), legislative reforms, digital transformation, Artificial Intelligence, technology-enabled governance and institutional reforms.
The discussions will focus on sharing ideas, identifying practical reforms and improving governance and service delivery.
The session is expected to result in a Vision Document, reform proposals, recommendations for institutional improvements, a roadmap for digital transformation, and short- and medium-term action points for implementation across the ministry.
