For Members
The Oklahoma Bar Association has a rich history of serving lawyers and the public. The association is governed by its House of Delegates and when it is not in session, a 17-member Board of Governors oversees operation of the Association, an arm of the Oklahoma Supreme Court, and does not receive any appropriations from the Oklahoma Legislature. An arm of the Oklahoma Supreme Court, the OBA’s activities are wholly funded through membership dues, member gifts, grants and other self-generated revenue.
For the Public
The OBA offers a wide variety of community service programs designed to help Oklahomans. As part of the goal to protect the public, the OBA Office of the General Counsel investigates complaints against lawyers and prosecutes lawyers who have committed ethical violations. The bar also offers free legal information and a list of legal resources, including many low- or no-cost assistance programs.

About
The Oklahoma Bar Center is located in the State Capitol Complex at 1901 N. Lincoln Boulevard in Oklahoma City. The predecessor of the OBA was formed in 1904 by the merger of the Oklahoma Territory and Indian Territory Bar Associations. After statehood in November 1907, the association was partially regulated by the Oklahoma Legislature until it repealed enacting legislation in 1938. In 1939 the Oklahoma Supreme Court, exercising its plenary powers over the courts of the state of Oklahoma, as contained in Article 7 of the Oklahoma Constitution, by Court Order created the present-day entity.
