NWOSU O.I.L. Club

The Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature (O.I.L.) is a student-run mock government that replicates all three branches of the state government of Oklahoma. Besides the most common aspect, mock legislature, O.I.L. also contains a mock executive branch, moot court, and a press corps. https://okoil.org/

Legislative Branch:

• House of Representatives: The House is the larger house of the legislative branch. The Speaker of the House and the Speaker Pro Tempore are the elected leaders that preside over the House https://okoil.org/house-of-representatives/
• Senate: The Senate is the equally representative part of the legislature. The Senate is led by the President Pro Tempore and the Deputy President Pro Tempore https://okoil.org/senate/

Executive Branch:

• The Executive Branch consists of both elected and appointed Executive Officers and appointed Cabinet Officers. These officers are responsible for specific administrative areas the Executive Branch is tasked with. https://okoil.org/executive-branch/

Press Corps:

• Press Corps is a group of individuals that complete news reports and other forms of reporting throughout the session https://okoil.org/press-corps/
• Press corps members compete against one another in a competition during the legislative session

Moot Court

• Competitors compete as either the petitioner or respondent of a moot appellate court case https://okoil.org/supreme-court/

The NWOSU O.I.L delegation is open to accepting students of all majors, and there are no academic requirements for participating. We only require that you commit to a single 5-day stay in Oklahoma City.
