Collaborative Clinical Research, Inc.
20600 Chagrin Boulevard
Cleveland, Ohio  44122

         In connection with the filing by Collaborative Clinical Research, Inc.,
an Ohio corporation (the "Company"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of a
Registration Statement on Form S-1 with respect to an additional 575,000 Common
Shares, without par value, of the Company (the "Shares") to be sold by the
Company, we have examined the following:

         (i)      the Fifth Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and
                  the Third Amended and Restated Code of Regulations of the
                  Company;

         (ii)     the Registration Statement on Form S-1, Registration No.
                  333-2140 (including Exhibits thereto), as amended, filed with
                  the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Registration
                  Statement");

         (iii)    the Underwriting Agreement pursuant to which all of the Shares
                  are to be purchased by the Underwriters and resold in the
                  public offering; and

         (iv)     the records relating to the organization of the Company and
                  such other documents as we deemed it necessary to examine as a
                  basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed.

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

         (i)      The Company is incorporated and validly existing under the
                  laws of the State of Ohio.

         (ii)     The Shares to be issued and sold by the Company, when issued
                  and sold in the manner contemplated by the Registration
                  Statement and the Underwriting Agreement, will be legally
                  issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

         We are attorneys licensed to practice law in the State of Ohio. The
opinions expressed herein are limited solely to the laws of the State of Ohio.
We express no opinion under the laws of any other jurisdiction.

         This opinion is delivered to you solely in connection with the filing
of the Registration Statement with respect to the Shares, and this letter and
the opinions stated herein may not be relied upon for any other purpose or by
any persons other than the Directors and executive officers of the Company.

         We consent to the filing of this opinion with the Registration
Statement and to the use of our name under the caption "Legal Matters."

                             Respectfully submitted,



                            CALFEE, HALTER & GRISWOLD
