          Re:  PREMIS Corporation
               Registration Statement on Form S-2
               Our File No. 30874.001

Dear Sir or Madam:

     We are counsel for PREMIS Corporation (the "Company") in connection with
the filing with the Commission of a Registration Statement on Form S-2 (the
"Registration Statement") for registration of 1,750,000 shares of common stock
of the Company, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock"), plus up to an additional
262,500 shares which may be acquired upon exercise of the underwriters'
overallotment option for sale by the Company (collectively, the "Shares") and
registration of certain other securities underlying the warrant to be issued 
to the representative of the Underwriters.

     We have examined and are familiar with such documents and corporate records
of the Company as we have deemed necessary and appropriate for the purpose of
rendering the following opinion.  Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion
that:

          When the Shares of Common Stock are issued by the Company
          pursuant to the Registration Statement, such Shares will,
          when sold pursuant to the Registration Statement, be validly
          issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
