The data used are combined between crosssection from 62 large and medium industrial sub-sectors, and time series, during 1990-2014, which are divided into 5 sub-periods of research. The data includes value added, number of workers, FDI, and Wages. Data sources are the Central Bureau of Statistics, Bappenas, and the Ministry of Industry of the Republic of Indonesia. The analytical method used is the panel data regression model, using secondary data. The model is analyzed by estimating the Least Square Dummy Variable (LSDV) method. The results of the study show that: (1) Changes in the share of labor as a result of the process of reallocating labor between sub-sectors have a negative effect on labor productivity growth. (2) Determinants of labor productivity growth, in addition to changes in the share of labor: those are investment variables (capital deepening), both short and long-term, and FDI does not affect labor productivity growth, while wages have a significant positive effect.

It is dedicated to the history and heroes of legal aid for the poor and the need to further that cause if the United States hopes to achieve equal justice for all. In his foreword, Justice Earl Johnson, Jr. of the California Court of Appeal insists that poor and even middle-class citizens who cannot af.''ord lawyers stand no chance of attaining justice in court and that justice for all must mean lawyers for all. R. James Steiner and Carol J. Holahan outline the history of legal aid for civil cases in the United States beginning with the foundation of the German Legal Aid Society in New York City in 1876 and tracing the spread of similar societies to other cities by the turn of the century. The article describes the creation of the American Bar Association's Standing Committee on Legal Aid in the 1920s and of the Legal Services Corporation in 1975. Judy Norris outlines the history of indigent defense in the United Stabs, describing the 1963 Supreme Court decision in Gideon v. Wainwri,ht which guarantees counsel to the poor. Other articles highlight the heroes of legal aid, interview leading figures in the movement today, and feature the history of the Legal Aid Society of New fork. Lesson plans introduce the Bill of Rights, call on students to discuss plans fo developing legal aid programs, and evoke discussion over the meaning of justice. Each of the lesson plans provide student handouts. (JD) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

Yet nations vary greatly in their commitment to providing that access to their lower income citizens. Some guarantee access to justice as a statutory or constitutional right and invest substantial public resources to supply subsidized lawyers to poor citizens, but many do not. Beyond the provision of subsidized counsel, other approaches for improving access to justice include contingent or conditional fees allowing lawyers to earn a percentage of their clients' recoveries while not charging if they lose; simplified procedures and/or laws that lessen the need for lawyers; substitution of lay advocates for lawyers in some forums; providing out-of-court assistance to allow disputants to represent themselves; and technologies that enhance access to justice in various ways.

Nor would I feel the need to.respond if I could be confident that most readers of the A.B.F. Research Journal were familiar with our book or my other writings in the field. But since this is a new area for most readers of the Journal, I feel a responsibility to discuss at least enough points to raise some question about whether this review article presented a fair impression of the issues. One theme pervaded the reviewer's entire piece: that Toward Equal Justice was a one-sided polemic against private attorneys and in favor of relying completely on salaried staff attorneys to provide legal assistance to the poor. I am sure that readers of the review article who are unfamiliar with my writings will be astonished to learn that in Toward Equal Justice (as well as earlier and subsequent writings) I did not

This article is the second of three installments, the first of which appeared in Volume 53, Number 4 of the Journal, at page 399. This series of articles is based upon a thesis which the author prepared while a graduate student at the Northwestern University School of Law. Mr. Johnson's first installment contained an assessment of the effects of organized crime on American society and an analysis of the factors which have made organized crime difficult to suppress through traditional methods of law enforcement. The second installment summarizes the various legal countermeasures available to an honest prosecutor-particularly a local prosecutor-in combating organized crime. These measures involve techniques designed to weaken criminal organizations through convicting their leaders, reducing their profits, and denying them access to services and facilities necessary to their illegal enterprises. The third installment will be a survey of the legal countermeasures available to minimize the effects of political corruption upon the prosecutive effort against organized crime. This survey will encompass means for substituting another prosecutive agency where the local prosecutor is corrupt or ineffectual, sanctions to discourage a corrupt official from improper acts, methods of minimizihg the effects of improper acts when they do occur, and techniques to maximize the effect of an honest official where others in the law enforcement machinery appear to be under the control of organized crime.-EDIToR. '3 The factors which render organization leaders virtually immune from prosecution for organization activities are summarized in Part I of this series, 53

As the Supreme Court explained long ago: The Fourteenth Amendment, in declaring that no State "shall deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws," undoubtedly intended. .. that equal protection and security should be given to all. .. that they should have like access to the courts of the country for the protection of their persons and property, the prevention and redress of wrongs, and the enforcement of contracts. .. . 21
