Jacqueline Lang Weaver is the A.A. White Professor of Law at the University of Houston.  Professor Weaver is an alumna of the Law Center, having graduated magna cum laude in 1975 after working as an energy economist. In 1977, she joined the faculty of the Law Center and has expertise in the areas of oil and gas, energy law and policy, international energy, environmental and natural resources law. Professor Weaver's reputation as an outstanding teacher is reflected in her four teaching excellence awards. She is a co-author of the nationally used casebook titled Energy, Economics and the Environment, a book whose very title reflects the themes pursued in the EELPJ. She has also authored articles on energy markets, sustainable development in the international energy industry, comparative unitization laws in energy-producing nations, and on energy policy.  Professor Weaver's book, Unitization of Oil and Gas Fields in Texas, despite the apparently narrow title, earned her national recognition for its study of the interplay between legislative, administrative and judicial decision making in the conservation of oil and gas in Texas.   She has also co-authored the leading three-volume treatise in Texas oil and gas law. She was the Director of the Russian Petroleum Legislation Project, blending academic as well as organizational skills to draft a model petroleum code for the new Russia, with the participation of the World Bank, the European Bank, major oil companies, and Russian academics and officials.  Professor Weaver holds a B.A. in Economics from Harvard University, a Ph.C. degree in Economics from the University of California at Los Angeles, and a J.D., from the University of Houston.
