Oil and Gas, Natural Resources, and Energy Journal (ONE J)

The Oil and Gas, Natural Resources, and Energy Journal (ONE J) focuses on all facets of the energy and natural resources industry—including oil and gas, wind and other renewables, water, and agriculture. Since ONE J began operation in the spring of 2015, its student editorial boards have published nearly 2,000 pages of scholarly articles and case summaries. Students publish a new ONE J issue online every other month, making the journal the most frequently circulated of OU Law’s scholarly periodicals.

According to statistics from Digital Commons, ONE J works have been downloaded over 21,500 times since the journal’s founding. In the “Energy and Utilities Law Commons” section of the Digital Commons site, seven of the ten most popular articles for August 2017 came from ONE J. The readership for these works consists of scholars and practitioners around the world.

ONE J is the first peer-reviewed publication of its kind in the nation. The journal also hosts an annual symposium each spring.

Students at the College of Law are eligible to join ONE J during the summer before their 2L year. Rising 2L students may receive offers for membership based on either their performance in first-year classes or their written submissions during the annual law review writing competition. Rising 3L students and transfer students are also eligible for membership through the writing competition.

Volume 4, issue 2 of ONE J is now available on the Current Issues page. The 2018-19 board's second issue features a 2017 Oil and Gas Law Update. The update covers a wide range of topics within the ONE J fields across many states and sources of law. The author of the 2017 update, Mark Christiansen, is a practitioner at McAfee & Taft in Oklahoma City. This issue also includes recent case summaries on topics within the ONE fields.

The first issue of ONE J's fourth volume was published in late May and available on the Current Issues page. This issue features a book review of Peter Roberts' "Petroleum Contracts: English Law and Practice," by practicing attorney and adjunct professor of law Norman Nadorff. Also featured are student works by ONE J editors Dillon Hollingsworth, Stephan Owings, Kaleb R. Smith, and Jordan Wybrant, and by recent graduate Morgen Potts.
