The Rocky Mountain Mineral Law Foundation is a non-profit educational organization founded in 1955 in Colorado that focuses on scholarly research about the laws affecting domestic and international mineral and water resources. It seeks to foster a balanced, practical study of regulations related to oil and gas, mining, water, public land management, land use, conservation, and environmental protection. Through institutes, short courses, and workshops conducted in the United States, Canada, and Latin America, the foundation engages a broad audience that includes corporate and private lawyers, landmen, management personnel, government staff, law faculty, and students. The foundation publishes a range of materials - treatises, proceedings, newsletters, and other works - developed largely by volunteer experts, underscoring its emphasis on quality and objectivity. Based in Westminster, Colorado, it operates as a research services organization with a relatively small staff and has seen leadership changes in recent years, including the appointment of Stuart Butzier as President in 2020.
