Amdocs Limited                                       [CAREY LANGLOIS LETTERHEAD]


31 August 2000

Dear Sirs

RE: AMDOCS LIMITED
    REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM F-3

We have acted as counsel to Amdocs Limited, a Guernsey Corporation (the
"Company"), in connection with its Registration Statement on form F-3 (the
"Registration Statement"), filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act"), relating to the proposed public offering of up to 4,495,102
Ordinary Shares, Pounds Sterling 0.01 per value (the "Shares"), of the Company.

In that connection, we have examined originals, or copies, certified or
otherwise identified to our satisfaction of such documents, corporate records
and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the
purposes of this opinion, including the Amended and Restated Articles of
Association and the Memorandum of Association of the Company and the Combination
Agreement dated as of February 28, 2000 between the Company, the Company's
subsidiaries named therein and Solect Technology Group Inc (the "Combination
Agreement"). Capitalised terms used herein without definition shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Combination Agreement.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Company has been duly organised and is validly existing as a corporation
   under the laws of Guernsey.

2. The Shares have been duly authorised, and the Shares being sold by the
   Selling Shareholders listed in the Registration Statement when issued upon
   the exchange of the Exchangeable Shares in accordance with the terms of the
   Combination Agreement and the Share Restructing Plan will be validly issued,
   fully paid, and non-assessable.

We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement, and to the reference to our firm under "Enforceability of Civil
Liabilities" and "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus comprising a part of the
Registration Statement.

Yours faithfully

[CAREY LANGLOIS SIGNATURE]
