An XcellAI Academy course for advocates, law firms, in-house legal teams and legal-ops staff in India: 20 hours* of hands-on labs on synthetic case files, with confidentiality and the verify-every-citation rule built into each module.
No. It is an XcellAI Academy course from XcellHost, independent of the Bar Council of India and the State Bar Councils, and it is not recognised by them. India has no mandatory continuing legal education scheme for advocates, so there are no CLE credits to claim. CLE/CPD — subject to approval*: if a firm or body you belong to recognises training hours, we confirm before the batch whether this course counts.
Not privileged or client-identifiable material into public tools. Rule 17 of the BCI Rules (Part VI, Chapter II) bars an advocate from breaching the privilege obligations now in section 132 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, and client files also carry personal data under the DPDP Act. The course shows how to anonymise extracts and how firms choose enterprise tools with suitable contracts. It is not legal advice.
In Pooja Ramesh Singh v. Jammu and Kashmir Bank Ltd. (2026 INSC 668, 2 July 2026) the Supreme Court set aside NCLT and NCLAT orders that relied on non-existent or misquoted judgments. It called for zero tolerance of unverified AI-generated precedents, said citing them without verification is misconduct by an advocate, and directed the BCI to form a committee and prescribe disciplinary norms. Module 2 is built around checking every citation.
No. AI drafts, extracts and summarises. Deciding whether a case applies, what to advise and what to file stays with the advocate, who is responsible for anything signed or sent. Juniors who learn to verify AI output well become more useful, not less.
ChatGPT, Microsoft 365 Copilot in Word, Gemini, Claude, Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) and Perplexity. Indian legal research platforms with AI features* are discussed generically. We do not endorse a product.
Not to attend. Copilot in Word needs a qualifying licence; without one, the trainer demonstrates those steps and you practise the same patterns with a chat assistant. XcellHost can quote Copilot licences separately.
Yes. The BNS, BNSS and BSA came into force on 1 July 2024, replacing the IPC, CrPC and Evidence Act. Models trained on older text often quote the old section numbers, so Module 2 includes an old-to-new mapping drill checked against India Code.
They are Supreme Court tools. Per a February 2026 PIB note, SUVAS translates Supreme Court judgments into 18 Indian languages, published on the e-SCR portal with human review, and SUPACE is still experimental and not in regular judicial use. The course covers them and the e-Courts services as context; it does not give access to court-internal systems.
No. Rule 36 of the BCI Rules bars advocates from soliciting work or advertising. The client-communication module covers updates, document requests and plain-language explanations for existing clients only.
It can produce a first draft. Legal terms, names and numbers are often wrong, so every translation used in a matter must be checked by a competent person, under your court's rules on translations. Lab L-6 practises finding those errors.
An XcellHost certificate of completion when you pass the assessment (pass mark 70%*). It is not a professional qualification and does not affect enrolment or practice rights.
Yes. Cohorts are on quote and run on site or live online, scheduled around hearings, with your approved tools, your AI policy and, if you wish, labs built on your own anonymised precedents.
