Who We Are
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 leadership of then Oklahoma Lt. Governor George Nigh and a small group of dedicated college students in 1969, 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 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.

A message from Governor Clifton:
“Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature is an organization that prides itself on excellence. Anything and everything that we do is done well. We create legislation that routinely affects Oklahoma policy. We argue Supreme Court precedent cases that are used to decide real life issues in the United States. We practice quality journalism to create journalists who are prepared to cover meaningful political matters in their careers. Most importantly, we learn, we encourage, and we care for others through everything we do.”
