SUPREME COURT ANNOUNCES UPDATE TO E-FILING SYSTEM The Supreme Court of Oklahoma announced a major enhancement to its electronic filing (e-filing) system. Effective immediately, attorneys and approved filers may initiate new civil cases electronically through the existing e-filing portal on the Oklahoma State Courts Network website, www.oscn.net. This functionality is currently available for civil case types only in counties using the Oklahoma Court Information System. E-filing, which was previously limited to filings in existing civil cases, now supports the electronic submission of case-initiating documents, streamlining workflows and reducing the need for in-person or mail-in filings at the courthouse. To access the system, visit www.oscn.net and select E-Filing. Registration is required, and attorneys must have an Oklahoma bar number in good standing. All filings must comply with the Oklahoma E-Filing Technical Standards and applicable local court rules. A NEW WAY TO EARN MCLE CREDIT Recently, the Oklahoma Supreme Court amended the rules for mandatory continuing legal education to include writing scholarly articles that are published in the Oklahoma Bar Journal. The MCLE Commission will award 6 credits per published article for each contributing author. Contact OBA Communications Director and Oklahoma Bar Journal Managing Editor Lori Rasmussen to learn more about this opportunity. Visit https://bit.ly/3ZepRZ3 to read the Supreme Court order.
