For the past few years free online information sources like e-journals, e-books, e-data- bases have increased considerably. The traditional library systems are going to transform into digital library systems. Information-seeking is important for lawyers, who have access to many dedicated electronic resources. The Internet and CD-ROM were the most frequently used IT-based sources and facilities. Study reveals that 3–4 hours of access to internet is quite common among the respondents of government advocates and junior advocates. Results of the present study show that senior advocate respondents rank in the first position with respect to their overall preference to legal CD-ROM databases, independent advocate respondents the second, panel advocates the third, government advocates the fourth and junior advocates the last.
