Law Day
About Law Day in Oklahoma
Law Day is meant to reflect on the role of law in the foundation of the country and to recognize its importance for society. The Oklahoma Bar Association has been celebrating Law Day for more than 60 years with activities and events taking place over several weeks and in dozens of counties. The celebration was conceived in 1951 by the late Hicks Epton, a Wewoka attorney and 1953 Oklahoma Bar Association president.
The annual OBA Law Day Art and Writing Contest is designed to stimulate discussion and understanding of the law among young Oklahomans. See the contest page for more details.
This will be the 49th year Oklahoma Bar Association members have offered free legal advice to celebrate Law Day. Oklahomans will have the option to email their question or call the hotline to speak with an attorney on May 1.
This year, we are producing content that will cover some of the common areas of law we hear about from callers for Ask A Lawyer. Visit our YouTube page to see recent videos.
Local County Phone Numbers
Phone banks will be located at the Oklahoma Bar Center in Oklahoma City, the Tulsa County Bar Association or local lawyers’ offices in nonmetro counties. Volunteer attorneys will also answer questions by email.
