OBA Sections

Sections provide Oklahoma attorneys with the means to become involved in a meaningful way with their bar association and to be on the leading edge of the latest in information about areas of practice to better serve their clients. Section membership is as easy as checking the appropriate portion of your annual membership statement and paying the small fee required or join a section anytime by mailing a check to the OBA for the section fee. Sections provide attorneys with new tools to aid their practice and to assist the Oklahoma Bar Association in providing help to all our attorneys.
