International Bar Association

Establishes New Section on Energy

The IBA Council at their meeting in New Delhi in

October, 1982 approved the change in status of

Energy and Natural Resources Law (Committee O)

of the Section on Business Law of the IBA to the

section on Energy and Natural Resources Law

(SERL) with effect from 1 January 1983.

Since its formation in 1970 membership of

Committee O has grown to over 800 and its activities

have expanded considerably. The Section aims to

advance the development and understanding of the

law as it affects oil, gas, coal, uranium and other

mineral and energy sources, both nationally and

internationally. Members will include lawyers in

private practice, oil and mining companies,

government, academic circles and international

organisations.

Between 1975 and 1982 Committee O held five

advanced, usually residential, seminars on energy

and resources law, bringing together up to 350

specialists from all parts of the world. The major

focus of the new Section's activities will be this

continuing education programme. The next seminar

will be held in Houston, Texas from 19-24 February

1984. In addition to these intensive seminars the

Section will discuss current international energy and

natural resources topics at meetings held during the

IBA and SBL Conferences.

The new Section will have four Committees

dealing with specialist subjects of interest to energy

lawyers namely, Oil and Gas Law, Mineral Law,

Coal Law and Renewable Energy Law. Each

Committee, will hold meetings to discuss matters

within its particular sphere.

The Section will continue to publish the full

proceedings of its seminars, in addition to its own

quarterly newsheet containing information on

Section activities, membership news, articles and

reports on current energy and natural resources law

in the major resource countries of the world.

Any person who is a qualified member of the legal

profession is eligible to join the IBA (annual dues stg.

£27.50, or under 36 years of age, stg. £15) and may

join the Section on Energy and Natural Resources on

payment of additional annual dues of stg. £15.

Full details of membership of the IBA and the

new Section are available from: The International
