Supreme and Highest Courts of Last Resort

The Supreme Court of Oklahoma is a court of appeal for non-criminal cases and one of the two highest judicial bodies in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. It leads the judiciary of Oklahoma, the judicial branch of the state government. The court consists of nine justices who are nominated by a state commission and appointed by the governor. Members of the court are required to be nonpartisan and are prohibited from a number of political activities, including making or soliciting campaign contributions. The Oklahoma Supreme Court meets in the Oklahoma Judicial Center, having previously met in the Oklahoma State Capitol until 2011. Its infobox gives 1907 as the year it was established and names the Oklahoma Constitution as its authority.
