EXHIBIT 5
June 8, 2000
Board of Directors
Robert Half International Inc.
2884 Sand Hill Road
Suite 200
Menlo Park, CA 94025
Dear Sirs:
I have reviewed the Stock Option Plan for Field Employees of Robert Half
International Inc. in connection with the filing of a Registration Statement
on Form S-8 for the registration of 200,000 additional shares to be offered
and sold thereunder.
It is my opinion that newly issued shares, when offered and sold pursuant to
the terms of such plan for not less than their par value, will be legally
issued, fully paid and non-assessable. I express no opinion regarding treasury
shares.
I consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the Registration
Statement.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Ava Chan
