             DEVELOPING RESEARCH GUIDELINES FOR
               BUSINESS LAW FACULTY: A REPORT
           ON THE INDIANA UNIVERSITY BUSINESS LAW

                       I. INTRODUCTION


    In  a  real  sense,  business law faculty are confronted
with   an   embarrassment   of   riches.      There  are  an
extraordinary  number of publication opportunities available
to  business  law  professors  in  both  legal  media and in
nonlegal  media  (where  articles  with a legal thrust are
welcome).    Legal  media  include  the standard law reviews
published  by  the almost two-hundred accredited law schools
as  well  as  an increasing number of limited-topic journals
that  are  generally  published  by  law  schools  or  other
scholarly  legal  institutions.  There are also numerous bar
association   journals   that   actively  seek  articles  of
interest to business lawyers.
    In   addition   to   regularly   published  periodicals,
reviews,   journals  and  the  like,  there  are  textbooks,
substantive  law  books,  continuing  legal  education  (CLE)
papers)  appellate  briefs, professional proceedings papers,
business   law   teaching   materials,  and  notes  in,  and
introductions   to,   statutory  compilations  and  proposed
legislation  --  all  of  which  is  classifiable  as  legal
publication.  Under a broad definition, this publication can
be  considered  legal  scholarship  because  producing  it
usually  requires  the  skills  and  techniques  of academic
legal research.
    Nonlegal  media  to  which  lawyers  contribute  can  be
classified    as   either   scholarly   or   practitioner-
oriented.    Alternatively  they  might  be  classified into
business-oriented   and  technical-oriented  categories,
where   the   latter  publications  serve  professions  like
