The teaching role of legal scholars in business schools is to assist in the
training of future leaders.  A very secondary, but necessary, role in many
schools is the service-oriented task of assisting future accountants pass
the CPA exam.  If the latter is the main thing on which we can hang our
hats, we are not scholars/educators, but a very commidiafiable element that
is easily replaceable.
