I am proud as both an Alaskan and as editor-in-chief of this journal to share the following three articles and three Duke Law student notes with you. The pieces cover important topics in the modern Alaskan legal system, including the future of offshore oil and gas leasing, sustainable development, and firearm regulation in the state. Our first featured article recommends improvements to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management's offshore oil and gas planning, leasing, and exploration plan review processes.
