The number of homepages of law schools is also small compared with other academic fields. Such hesitation in their activity on the computer network can not encourage the academic community to require free access to legal information via the net. However, there is a gap between the older generation of the academic leadership and a younger group. Old academics do not prefer new innovations and are afraid to lose the benefit of their existing closed society. The Internet is not suited for closed communities.
Computer networks provide open access to information.
Users have equal access to information on the web. The older generation generally prefers the traditional, face to face system for exchanging information. They also do not have web literacy and are reluctant to learn it. The current academic situation may be a result of the conflict between the wired generation and the non-wired one. As I pointed out before, most higher education institutions are connected to the Internet.
