The study adopted a descriptive survey design, the population of the study was 772 consisting of all the registered legal practitioners in the Ilorin and Offa branches of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA). Total enumeration was adopted and a stratified sampling technique was applied. The study used a questionnaire as a data collection instrument and the data collected were analyzed. The study found out the available ICT resources include mobile phones, laptops, desktops, scanners, electronic court records, Internet and CD-Rom, which legal practitioners use on daily bases purposely to further knowledge on legal issues, for the work in progress and to defend their client in the court of law. The study also reported that revamping the nature of ICT resources, poor internet facilities, and epileptic power supply are some of the challenges that legal practitioners encountered while using ICT resources. The study concludes that ICT utilization is ponderous in the legal profession.
