Oklahoma admission laws are stated in Title 5 of Oklahoma Statutes.  Admitting body is the Oklahoma Supreme Court.  Minimum age of admission is 18 years.  Applicant should hold a law degree from a law school approved by the American Bar Association or Board of Bar Examiners.  Applicant should be a resident of Oklahoma and a citizen of U.S., or should have the intent to become a citizen.

Recognized exams are Multistate Bar Examination and essay exam.  Applicant should also pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Test with a scale score of 75.  Attorneys from other states are admitted to practice in Oklahoma without exam, if the attorney was admitted to practice law in the attorney’s state Bar, and the attorney was engaged in practice of law for five years out of seven years immediately preceding the application.  However, the other state should also reciprocate to Oklahoma by admitting Oklahoma attorneys to that state without exam.

Each attorney should dedicate 12 hours yearly to Mandatory Continuing Legal Education (MCLE).
