Oklahoma Supreme Court

What Oklahoma Supreme Court does

The Oklahoma Supreme Court is the highest appellate court in the State of Oklahoma, established by the Oklahoma Constitution in 1907 and operational since that year. It consists of nine Justices — currently led by Chief Justice Dustin P. Rowe and Vice-Chief Justice Dana Kuehn — selected through a Judicial Nominating Commission process and serving six-year terms with retention elections. The Court holds exclusive authority over constitutional interpretation, bar admissions, attorney discipline, and formulation of rules governing the practice of law statewide, and it administers the entire Oklahoma state judicial system through its subsidiary, the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC).

The Court's core products consist of published decisions, the Supreme Court Rules, the court calendar, downloadable legal forms in Word and PDF formats, and annual reports (published continuously from FY2011 through FY2025). The underlying technology is the OSCN.net platform, which provides public access to court records, decisions, forms, news, and case management information. Supporting the Justices is a central staff of four referees (Cassandra Holden, Ann Hadrava, Kyle Rogers, Meredith Wolfe) who prepare written reports on certiorari petitions, original actions, prisoner filings, and stays pending appeal; a Clerk of the Supreme Court (Selden Jones) handling filings for the Supreme Court, Court of Criminal Appeals, and Court of Civil Appeals; an Administrative Director of the Courts (Diana O'Neal) coordinating statewide judicial logistics; and an Administrative Assistant (Kelley Middaugh).

The Court operates from the Oklahoma Judicial Center at 2100 N. Lincoln Blvd., Oklahoma City — a National Register of Historic Places building rehabilitated for $35 million and opened in 2011 — which also houses a museum-quality Native American art collection and serves as the venue for ceremonies and educational visits. Its "revenue model" is structurally governmental: operating funds come from state budget appropriations, while user-paid streams are limited to nominal filing fees ($200 per Supreme Court petition, $100 for certiorari to the Court of Civil Appeals, $50 for Court of Criminal Appeals petitions, $20 per Attorney Certificate of Good Standing), with pauper's affidavit available in lieu of fee. Distribution is direct to users through the Oklahoma City courthouse and the OSCN.net online portal, serving attorneys, litigants, and the broader Oklahoma citizenry.
