As the global community is moving into the electronic age, where effectiveness and efficiency is measured by the rapidity and accuracy of information transmission and retrieval, it has become imperative for the Honorable Judges, advocates and teachers also to make use of this information technology and help the legal environment keep pace with the social milieu. Also, as the Indian legal fraternity is providing professional services to a new generation of international businessmen, multi-national corporations and others, they have no choice but to keep pace with the information technology age and provide those services using tools which increase accuracy and reduce the man hours spent in mechanical searches. Very simply put, the time has come for the Indian legal fraternity to "polish its act and hone its tools."
