Supreme Court

The Supreme Court’s historic and primary focus is to decide civil appellate cases. Under Article 7 § 4 of the Oklahoma Constitution, the court has administrative responsibility for the entire Oklahoma judicial system. The court establishes the rules for all courts in Oklahoma, which has a unified bar. Membership in the Oklahoma Bar Association is required to practice law in Oklahoma. The court sets the rules for admission to the bar and the ethical practice of law and administers appropriate discipline in cases of attorney misconduct. In recent years, the Supreme Court has been vested with further responsibilities by the Legislature, including appeals of expungement orders, decisions of the Oklahoma Securities Commission, victim protective orders, original and exclusive jurisdiction over bond approvals and final orders on the nonpayment of child support. The Honorable M. John Kane IV is the current Chief Justice.
