A comparison of the subsequent careers of 228 lawyers involved in the program in 1967 to those of 981 other lawyers who were practicing law in 1967 indicates that program participation has an important effect cn both the distribution of professional services and the rendering of reform oriented free or reduced fee work. The explanations offered stress the importance of job market factors, in contrast to previous work * hich has suggested that the socialization is the sole or primary means through which such effects occur. A further difference from previous work is the consideration of the effects of variation in experience in the organization-a topic which is briefly discussed. ABSTRACT This paper considers the effects of participation as a salaried professional in a reforn-oriented organization on the participant's subsequent career. This issue is studied in the context of one such organization, the CEO sponsored Legal Services Program, rich eras probably the largest and best known organization oriented to the redistribution of pro-

The data indicate that the correlation is rather low, a finding that is consistent with previous research on samples of children. It is suggested that in spite of this finding, rather extreme childhood experiences may be fairly strongly related to adult physical aggression, and suggestions for further research are offered. *The survey instrument was designed under the direction of Sandra Ball-Rokeach. The sample included 1,176 adults (941 whites, 195 blacks, 40 other nonwhites) over age 18, in 100 clusters in all parts of the United States. The individual to be interviewed was specified in advance, but no call-backs were made. The questionnaire may be found in Lange, Baker, and Ball (1969). Preliminary findings are reported in Lange et al. (1969) and in Stark and McEvoy, III (1970). Some of the tables in the latter paper exaggerate class difference because the analysis does not control for age. The findings presented here are based on a secondary analysis of the data.
