The paper describes the use of ATLAS.ti 7 in the research undertaken to examine the socio-legal implications of the adoption of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the justice system of the High Courts of Malaysia. Engaging a qualitative method, the research comprises of the collection of secondary data involving library-based re­ search, and primary data generated from a case study of four High Courts of West and East Malaysia. The paper dis­ cusses steps in preparing the data, coding the data and finally analysing the data. In deriving the findings of the re­ search, the ATLAS.ti was used throughout the research process to manage both the secondary and primary data, properly build up the code list inductively and deductively, track the relevant quotations from time to time, explore the data using the built-in feature Query Tool, connect ideas and notes to the existing objects and visually arrange the objects to iteratively make sense of the data.
