This article examines the way in which legal practitioners use the Internet for work and especially focuses on whether there is a gender difference in the way men and women use the Internet in the legal practice environment. Analysing current interdisciplinary research of Internet use patterns, this piece draws on the results of a study of these patterns among Queensland lawyers and concludes that patterns of use of the Internet do vary between genders. Further, it reveals that constraints such as lack of confidence and lack of training are more likely to effect women than men.
