The University of Denver Sturm College of Law has assumed the editor responsibilities for the Journal of Energy and Natural Resources Law (JERL), a peer-reviewed journal published by the International Bar Association. The journal is affiliated with the IBA Section on Energy, Environment, Natural Resources and Infrastructure Law.

JERL offers global coverage of oil and gas, minerals, nuclear power, coal, water, and renewable energy as well as a broad array of environmental and sustainability-related issues. Because of the Journal’s international reach, authors are assured wide distribution of their work. The faculty-led nature of the editorial process results in a selection of the best and most thought-provoking work from around the world. Initial indication of acceptance for peer review is given promptly by the editor, and the peer review process is efficient and often contributes positively to the quality of published articles.

Submissions in the form of articles, book reviews, or essays on a particular subject are welcome. Submissions may compare how several countries approach a particular issue, address an international issue, or simply elaborate on a topical area of law from their own jurisdiction.

JERL is published quarterly, and article submissions are received throughout the year. Submissions (as well as questions) should be sent to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. More information about the journal can be found here.
