Abstract
It cannot be denied that Indonesia is a pluralistic country. Tribes, religion, and culture spread throughout in Indonesian archipelago with their unique characteristics. Pluralism in Indonesia, in the end, must be a subject at the legal unification as consequences from the development of the modern state, namely carrying legal certainty by making it happen in writing in the form of legislation to regulate all aspects of the life of nation and state. Of course, the operational basis for the governing all lies on the law. Legislation process in Indonesia is currently based on Law No. 12 the Year 2011, which sets the necessity of academic paper for the process of legislation. However, the laws generated through the results of research as outlined in the academic papers were not able to demonstrate significant quality. This can be seen from the number of filling judicial reviews to the constitutional court, which final decision is canceled. Based on that, it is questionable whether the academic papers the legislative process has been able to answer the material content of the law in meeting the needs of the law in the community or not. Then, what kind of formation of academic papers that can comply with these legal needs? This research uses doctrinal legal research because it not only examines the legal norms but also understands the concept of law as a norm.
