The current Oklahoma Bar Association was created by the Rules of the Oklahoma Supreme Court in 1939, although it was preempted by the Oklahoma and Indian Territory Bar Association formed in 1904. Membership in the bar is required to practice law in the state of Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Bar Association strives to foster and maintain high ideals of public service, conduct, integrity, competence, and learning in the legal profession, provide a forum for discussion of pertinent law reform, and assist the courts in carrying out and advancing the administration of justice. Additionally, the bar seeks to harmonize legal practices with the public's best interest.

Oklahoma Open Records Act

Title 51 Oklahoma Statutes § 24A.1 et seq.

The Oklahoma Open Records Act is a series of laws designed to guarantee that public has access to all public records of governmental bodies. Section 24A.2 defines records as "all documents, including, but not limited to, any book, paper, photograph, microfilm, data files created by or used with computer software, computer tape, disk, and record, sound recording, film recording, video record or other material regardless of physical form or characteristic, created by, received by, under the authority of, or coming into the custody, control or possession of public officials, public bodies, or their representatives in connection with the transaction of public business, the expenditure of public funds or the administering of public property." This specifically includes all records of the transfer of public funds.

According to the Oklahoma Open Records Act, anyone may request public records and no statement of purpose is required. However, if the purpose is commercial, fees will be charged for document collection. There is no restriction on the use of records and the law does not specify a time limit for responses to requests.
