The majority of legal studies take place in libraries. This paper discussed the services the judicial library helps legal practitioners render to members of the bar and bench. In the 21st century, information law plays a vital role and is the lifeblood of legal professionals. The "information age," also referred to as the "computer age," is defined by an explosion of information and fast technical innovation. This technological progress is the trend that is currently influencing legal research, teaching, and study. There are many social media platforms available today, but legal librarians in academic contexts face significant hurdles when users of their libraries find and use these technologies. In order to keep the library up-to-date and maintain a positive rapport with patrons, a librarian working in a library needs to possess a variety of skills, including curation, leadership, subject expertise in law, and research and technology abilities. The author outlines the competencies needed for a legal librarian in the digital age in this paper. This paper centers on them. On the issues raised, recommendations were made.
