About Us

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.
