The utilisation of information and Communication Technology (ICT) in legal research has transformed the methods by which legal practitioners and scholars obtain, assess, and interpret legal material. Information and Communication Technology tools, like online legal databases and digital libraries, have expedited, enhanced, and broadened access to legal study. ICT has allowed academics to manage complex legal enquiries effectively with real-time updates, search engines, and advanced comparative analytical tools. The digitization of legal resources and the wide integration of information and communication technology have enabled the democratization of access to legal knowledge, especially in remote and underserved areas. ICT integration avails several important benefits but throws up several difficulties, including shortcomings in digital literacy, security breaches in data and the potential threat of over dependency on technology. This paper raises the imperative necessity of surmounting these restraints to unleash the promise that ICT has opened up in research for law.
