Oil Pump in Oklahoma Sunset Turner Falls, Arbuckle Mountains Woodpecker

The John B. Turner LL.M Program extends the University of Oklahoma's long history of excellence and expertise in law relating to domestic and international energy law, natural resources law, and American Indian law and indigenous peoples law. Sustainable development of all forms of energy, water, and agricultural resources will continue to be challenging and vitally important to the global economy. Increasingly, development occurs on or near lands claimed by indigenous populations. While some native peoples may enjoy sovereign or quasi-sovereign rights to these lands, they often have little or no control, receive few benefits, and yet suffer the bulk of environmental and social problems that may arise. This program is designed to be flexible, allowing international and American students to study in all three areas or concentrate their studies in any one or two of these areas.

The John B. Turner LL.M. program offers a combination of courses available only at the University of Oklahoma. In addition to studying with the outstanding faculty at the College of Law, students have unique interdisciplinary opportunities to receive credit for related courses offered by other departments. The LL.M. program also includes guest lectures, field trips, and social and networking opportunities. The College of Law has one of the most favorable faculty-student ratios among law schools world-wide, so students will enjoy unsurpassed opportunities for close interaction with full-time faculty.

Legendary professors, including Richard Hemingway, Victor Kulp, Eugene Kuntz, Maurice Merrill, Joe Rarick, and Rennard Strickland have made the College of Law a national leader in energy, natural resources, and indigenous peoples. Professors who continue this tradition include Owen Anderson (oil and gas law, oil and gas contracts and tax, international petroleum law and transactions), Taiawagi Helton (environmental law and Indian natural resources law), Drew Kershen (water law, agricultural law, international bio-technology law), Peter Krug (international law, international business transactions, and comparative law), Emily Meazell (energy law), Joyce Palomar (land tenure security law, real estate development law, and land use law), Lindsay Robertson (Indian law, indigenous peoples law, human rights law), and Murray Tabb (environmental law). In addition, the College is fortunate to have several distinguished adjunct and visiting professors who teach highly specialized classes in this program area.
