                                       TO
                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

The Employment Agreement effective as of July 15, 2002 by and between John S.
Bowers, III ("Employee") and Barrister Global Services Network, Inc.
("Barrister"), is hereby amended as follows:

         VIII.    Section 2 Duties and Responsibilities shall be deleted and
                  replaced with the following:

                  2. Duties and Responsibilities. Employee shall perform all
                  duties incident to the position of Senior Vice President and
                  Chief Operating Officer of Barrister as well as any other
                  duties consistent with such position that may from time to
                  time be assigned by the Board of Directors of Barrister or its
                  designee (the "Board of Directors"), and agrees to abide by
                  all By-laws, policies, practices, procedures or rules of
                  Barrister. Employee may be reassigned or transferred to
                  another management position, as designated by the Board of
                  Directors of Barrister, which may or may not provide the same
                  level of responsibility as the initial assignment, in
                  accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement but
                  which will never be less than an officer of Barrister
                  reporting to the Chief Executive Officer and/or Board of
                  Directors of Barrister. Employee agrees to establish a
                  residence in the Buffalo, New York area by March 31, 2003.
                  Employee agrees, as an executive, that during the term of this
                  Agreement, he shall devote his full business time and
                  attention exclusively to the business and affairs of
                  Barrister, and shall use his best efforts, skills, and ability
                  to promote the business of Barrister and perform for Barrister
                  such duties as are customarily performed by a management or
                  executive employee having responsibility in such areas.
                  Employee shall have such power and authority as shall
                  reasonably be required to enable him to perform his duties
                  hereunder in an efficient manner; provided that in the
                  exercising of such power and authority and the performance of
                  such duties, he shall at all times be subject to the
                  supervision and direction of the President and Chief Executive
                  Officer and/or the Board of Directors of Barrister. The Board
                  of Directors shall have the right from time to time, to assign
                  to the Employee additional duties and responsibilities and to
                  delegate to other employees of Barrister duties and
                  responsibilities normally discharged by the Employee. All such
                  assignments and delegations of duties and responsibilities
                  shall be made in good faith and shall not materially affect
                  the general executive character of the work to be performed by
                  the Employee.

         IX.      Section 3 Remuneration, paragraph (a) shall be amended,
                  effective January 20, 2003, to increase the Base Salary to
                  $147,680.

         X.       Section 3 Remuneration paragraph (c), the following sentence
                  shall be inserted immediately following the 1st sentence:

                  Employee will also be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable
                  relocation expenses incurred through March 31, 2003 in
                  accordance with Barrister's Relocation Policy for establishing
                  a Buffalo residence.

         XI.      Section 6, paragraph (a) Termination of Employment by
                  Barrister, 3rd sentence, delete "failure to generate a profit
                  for the Barrister Advantage Services Division for two (2)
                  consecutive quarters".

         XII.     Section 6, paragraph (b) Termination of Employment by
                  Employee, 2nd paragraph shall be deleted and replaced with the
                  following:

                  Employee may terminate this Agreement with Good Reason. As
                  used herein, "Good Reason" shall mean any breach by Barrister
                  of this Agreement that continues for a period of 30 days after
                  written notice thereof is given by Employee to Barrister. If
                  Employee terminates his employment for Good Reason, Barrister
                  shall nevertheless continue to pay Employee's salary and
                  provide Employee benefits as if he remained employed through
                  July 31, 2004. If, for other than Good Reason, Employee
                  terminates this Agreement within twelve (12) months of the
                  effective date of Employee's relocation, Employee shall
                  reimburse Barrister for all costs of relocation reimbursed to
                  Employee by Barrister pursuant to Barrister's Relocation
                  Policy.

All other terms and conditions of the original agreement shall remain in full
force and effect.

This Amendment shall be effective January 1, 2003, except as otherwise noted
herein.

In Witness Whereof, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment on this 31st
day of January, 2003.
