Overview
The University of Tulsa College of Law was established in 1923 and has grown into a respected regional law school known for its strong ties to the energy industry and its pioneering programs in Native American law, reflecting Oklahoma's significant tribal jurisdictions. The college is accredited by the American Bar Association and is a member of the Association of American Law Schools. It has built a national reputation for its Energy Law program, capitalizing on Tulsa's historic identity as an oil and gas industry hub, and its Native American Law and Policy Center, which has become increasingly prominent following the 2020 McGirt v. Oklahoma Supreme Court decision affecting tribal jurisdiction across much of eastern Oklahoma.
