Responsibilities of The Oklahoma Bar Association to Investigate Complaints
Under the supervision of the Professional Responsibility Commission, the Office of the General Counsel investigates all matters involving alleged misconduct or incapacity of any lawyer called to the attention of the General Counsel by grievance or otherwise. The office then reports to the Professional Responsibility Commission the results of investigations made by or at the direction of the General Counsel. The Professional Responsibility Commission determines the disposition of grievances or directs the instituting of a formal complaint for alleged misconduct or personal incapacity of an attorney with the Oklahoma Supreme Court. The attorneys in the Office of the General Counsel prosecute all proceedings under the Rules Governing Disciplinary Proceedings and supervise the investigative process*.
Oklahoma Bar Complaints
These are publicly documented complaints forwarded to the Oklahoma Bar Association on Oklahoma Prosecutors. This list illustrates that the Oklahoma Bar Association has been made aware of prosecutorial misconduct and other attorney misconduct, and should be actively investigating these complaints. Due to the lack of transparency in their current procedure, this public facing list of complaints is necessary for accountability to the public.
