Document Requirements

The Texas Journal of Oil, Gas, and Energy Law welcomes the submission of articles, comments, book reviews, and notes from judges, academics, practicing lawyers, and students. To submit your manuscript, please follow the instructions below.

We are currently accepting submissions for Volume 4:1 and Volume 4:2. These issues are not themed, and articles submitted can be on any topic related to oil, gas, and energy law or policy.  The deadline for Volume 4:1 is August 1, 2008, and the deadline for Volume 4:2 is January 2, 2009.


All submissions must be in a common format, preferably Microsoft Word. The document should be single-spaced with footnotes rather than endnotes. Citations should conform with The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (18th ed.), or ALWD Citation Manual (2nd ed.), and where applicable The Texas Rules of Form (10th ed.).

TJOGEL does not enforce a maximum or minimum length for articles. However, our aim is for most of the articles to be of a length that can be read in a single setting.

A Note on Editing

The Journal aspires to keep editorial interventions to a minimum, namely, whatever is necessary for the sake of (clearly) good grammar, spelling, and the like. Questions of "style" will be ignored almost altogether once a piece has been selected.

If you have questions regarding submissions, please email info@tjogel.org.
