The New Institute for Energy Law - It's More Than A New Name
The energy industry is evolving, and so are we. Historically focused on the oil and gas industry as the International Oil and Gas Educational Center, the organization's new name - the Institute for Energy Law of the Center for American and International Law (IEL) - reflects its recent decision to expand its scope to serve not only oil and gas lawyers but lawyers and professionals in all other areas of domestic and international energy law as well.

Our expansion plans include important changes in the membership activities and programs of the Institute:

• Membership dues are lower and membership benefits are greater;
• Advisory Board membership has been revised to allow more representatives from energy companies and firms to participate;
• The Advisory Board's Executive Committee has been reorganized and enlarged to offer more opportunities for leadership within the Institute to oil and gas lawyers as well as to lawyers in other fields of energy law;
• New committees of the Advisory Board have been created to guide future programs and activities, including committees on:
  • Oil and Gas
  • International
  • Power/Energy Marketing and Trading
  • Alternate Energy
  • Coal
  • Nuclear

The IEL will continue to serve as an important forum on contemporary legal issues affecting the oil and gas industry as we expand our programs and membership to better serve other areas of domestic and international energy law as well. Please join us and help guide this evolution.
