INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND THE LAW.

In the modern times effective and deligent legal practices must involve information technologu and other gadgets that can be used in the effective prosecution or defense of a clients case.

However, there is now a slant towards paperless office. This means that it is taking the place of books and libraries and replacing it with laptops, desktops computers, tablets, smart phones and a host of others are now in play.

ADVANTAGES OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN LAW

• Lawyers can save their health by using their laptops in their research methodologies instead of their age long catalogue of old books from the libraries.

• Case reporting is now mainly internet based. Law reports publications, forms,uploads, daily precedents on the internet for their subscribed users are readily available. Instead of going through the hardwork of producing hardcopies. IT also gets abreast with the latest decision from the superior courts through effective internet law reporting

• Lawyers are now ICT compliant. Days are gone when the admin staff in a law firm do all the
  hardwork. It is now faster for a lawyer to type his own documents according to his whims and caprice without having to waste time correcting the typing of his clerical staff.

• Finally, it helps lawyers to maintain the secrecy and integrity of their briefs without having to share it with his other non-personal staff.
