  We present a QCD sum rule calculation of the Isgur-Wise form-factor
tau_1(v.v') and tau_2(v.v') for the semileptonic decays B->D_1(2420)l\bar\nu
and B->D_2^*(2460)l\bar\nu in the framework of heavy quark effective theory.
These two universal functions, associated with the matching of the weak
currents in QCD onto those in the effective theory, appear at the order 1/m_Q
in the heavy quark expansion of meson weak decay form factors.
