A portable contract law management device allows a user immediate access to any selected category of contract data each category being stored in a separate portion (4(a) to 4(f)) of a fixed disk (4). A processor (2) passes the required contract data a portion at a time via an output read/write memory (7) to a display (9). The processor (2) stores in the output read/write memory (7), and updates, an initialisation element for each portion of the fixed disk (4), which initialisation element indicates where the processor (2) should begin reading from the fixed disk (4) for immediate access of a user to desired contract data. This allows the user immediate analysis and interpretation of part of a contract on-site without the need to consult a central office. IMAGE
