Overview

The Ocean and Coastal Law Journal (OCLJ) is a student-run legal journal at the University of Maine School of Law. It is dedicated to facilitating discourse on legal issues related to domestic and international use of the sea and seashores. One of the few journals of its kind in the country, OCLJ publishes bi-annually through BEPRESS by second and third-year students at the University of Maine School of Law. Volumes include articles by practitioners and scholars, as well as comments and case notes written by students addressing issues of marine resource regulation, alternative energy development, boundary delimitation, coastal zone management, marine environmental protection, and other topics of importance in the field of ocean and coastal law. The OCLJ is affiliated with the Center for Oceans & Coastal Law at Maine Law.

The OCLJ provides two years of research, writing, and editing experience to its student editors, who are required to produce a comment or two case notes of publishable quality on an ocean or coastal issue during their second year. In addition to fulfilling their writing requirement, student editors become familiar with current issues in the field of ocean and coastal law while carefully editing works accepted for publication.

History

From 1994 to 2011, the Ocean and Coastal Law Journal published volumes 1 to 16 under the direction of the Marine Law Institute. In 2011, the University of Maine School of Law opened the Center for Oceans and Coastal Law then Ocean and Coastal Law Journal published volume 17 under the direction of the new center.

Second year (or third-year students who did not join their second year) are members of the staff and third-year students (with one year of experience) are members of the Board of Editors.
