Welcome to O.I.L.
The Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature (O.I.L.) is a student-run mock government that replicates all three branches of the state government of Oklahoma. Founded under the administration of former Governor George Nigh and now in its fortieth year, O.I.L. provides students from institutions of higher learning across the state an opportunity to write, debate, and pass legislation about the issues they believe are important. Besides the mock legislature, O.I.L. also contains a mock executive branch, moot court, and a newly formed press corps. Any students interested in politics, law, or government process will find the networking opportunities, experiences, and friends they are looking for at O.I.L.
The Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature is currently in session! The Second Session of the Fortieth Legislature opened on Wednesday, November 5th, and will continue through Sunday, November 9th. The Capitol and its chambers are open throughout session, and anyone interested in finding out more about O.I.L. and what happens at session is always welcome to come watch.
