Design Development of The Yogyakarta Law Firm Competitive Improvement

Abstract

In the recent period, the Advocate profession has received very sharp attention from the public, especially those who have experienced cases in court. Often there are cases of an advocate making a mistake in providing legal assistance. This results in a negative assessment from the public. The negative assessment of the public towards advocates will have an impact on the image of the legal institution (law firm) that houses them. Currently, many complain that advocates lack sufficient competence in carrying out their duties. Based on these problems, a question arises how to improve the competence of an advocate. So this study aims to design the concept of a model for improving the competence of advocates along with the variables and indicators that follow. The method used in data collection is a survey method by distributing questionnaires to 101 advocates in various law offices in Yogyakarta. The data obtained were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through the AMOS 24 application program. The results showed that there was an influence between knowledge and competency (H1), there was an influence between skill and competency (H2), there was an influence between attitude and competency (H3) and there is an influence between motivation and competency (H4). Thus, based on the results of the AMOS analysis, the concept of an advocate competency improvement model was obtained.
