Attorneys practicing in this Court are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the
Oklahoma Rules of Professional Conduct, as adopted by the Oklahoma Supreme Court, as the
standard of conduct of all members of the Oklahoma Bar Association. See, Title 5 O.S.A. Ch.1,
App. 3A. as set forth in the preamble:
A lawyer’s conduct should conform to the requirements of the law, both in
professional service to clients and in the lawyer’s business and personal affairs. A
lawyer should use the law’s procedures only for legitimate purposes and not to
harass or intimidate others. A lawyer should demonstrate respect for the legal
system and for those who serve it, including judges, other lawyers and public
officials. While it is a lawyer’s duty, when necessary, to challenge the rectitude of
official action, it is also a lawyer’s duty to uphold legal process.
In this spirit, all lawyers should become familiar with their duties and obligations, as defined and
classified generally in the Oklahoma Rules of Professional Conduct, any interpretive decisions,
applicable statutes, and the usages, customs, and practices of the bar.
