Oklahoma State Judicial System

The Oklahoma State Judicial System is the framework that interprets and applies the law in Oklahoma. It includes several courts: District Courts handle serious criminal and civil cases; the Court of Civil Appeals and Court of Criminal Appeals review appeals from lower courts; and the Oklahoma Supreme Court is the highest court, overseeing the entire system and ensuring the law is consistently applied. Judges are selected through merit-based appointments or elections, maintaining impartiality and justice. The system ensures legal disputes are resolved fairly, protecting citizens' rights and maintaining order in the state.
