Under General Instruction E, the contents of the Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed by Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. with the Securities and Exchange Commission (File No. 333-16989) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on November 27, 1996, including the exhibits thereto, are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement, with the exception of Item 6 of Part II, which is restated in full as follows. PART II Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") permits a corporation to indemnify any of its directors or officers who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any third party proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that such person's conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action, i.e., one by or in the right of a corporation, the corporation is permitted to indemnify any of its directors or officers against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability. Article Eleventh of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides for indemnification of directors and officers of the Registrant against liability they may incur in their capacities as such to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers. Pursuant to such agreements, the Registrant will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify such persons against all expenses incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of any proceeding brought against them by reason of the fact that they were directors or officers of the Registrant. The Registrant has in effect directors' and officers' liability insurance with a limit of $5,000,000 and fiduciary liability insurance with a limit of $2,000,000. The fiduciary liability insurance covers actions of directors and officers as well as other employees with fiduciary responsibilities under ERISA.

Exhibit 5.1 Opinion of General Counsel Robert T. Schendel December 6, 2002 Michael E. Henry Chief Executive Officer Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. 663 Highway 60 Monett, MO 65708 Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8 of Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. Gentleman: I have acted as General Counsel to Jack Henry & Associates, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") for the purposes of registering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), 9,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common Shares") issuable under the Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. 1996 Stock Option Plan (the Plan"). In connection therewith, I have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of those documents, corporate or other records, certificates and other papers that I deemed necessary to examine for purposes of this opinion. I have also relied, without investigation as to the accuracy thereof, on oral and written communications from officers of the Company. Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set forth in this letter, I am of the opinion that the Common Shares are validly authorized and, when (a) the pertinent provisions of the Securities Act and all relevant state securities laws have been complied with and (b) the Common Shares have been delivered against payment therefor as contemplated by the Plan, the Common Shares will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable. I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, and further consent to the use of my name wherever appearing in the Registration Statement. Very truly yours, /s/Robert T. Schendel ROBERT T. SCHENDEL General Counsel Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.
