About OU OUtlaw

OUtlaw represents the voice of LGBTQ+ students at the University of Oklahoma College of Law, situated in Norman, Oklahoma. Since its establishment, the organization has worked to create a supportive community for queer law students while advancing legal awareness about issues affecting LGBTQ+ populations. As part of OU Law's broader mission to foster small sections and close-knit community among its 800+ enrolled students, OUtlaw embodies the law school's commitment to inclusivity and diverse perspectives in legal education.

Founded on principles of community building and advocacy, OUtlaw connects students with meaningful professional development opportunities and peer support networks. The organization recognizes that legal professionals shape policy and protect rights, and OUtlaw members are committed to bringing LGBTQ+ perspectives and experiences into the legal field. By hosting educational events and partnering with campus organizations, OUtlaw extends its impact beyond the College of Law to the broader Norman community.

The University of Oklahoma College of Law has a historic legacy of pioneering civil rights work, including the landmark admission of Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher as the first Black woman in the college in 1948. OUtlaw continues this tradition of advancing justice and equality. Located on the modern Timberdell Road campus with world-class facilities including the Dick Bell Courtroom and comprehensive law library, OUtlaw students benefit from an environment that supports both rigorous legal scholarship and meaningful community engagement. OUtlaw members are part of a law school community that values diverse voices and prepares socially conscious legal professionals.
