TJOGEL Society
The TJOGEL Society gives UT Law students the opportunity to meet, engage, and network with leading attorneys in energy legal practice from nearly all large law firms in Texas. Additionally, the Society organizes a number of social events for members, including happy hours and taco Tuesdays.
While networking events are primarily organized for 1Ls and LLMs, all TJOGEL events are open to Society members who have paid their dues.
In the words of TJOGEL's alumni board President, and UT Law Professor, Tom Hillebrand, "the people I met through TJOGEL became my best professional mentors, my peers, and closest friends."
