"The Oklahoma court system might best be studied as a history in two separate chapters. The first chapter is that of the creation of the court system in the 1907 Oklahoma Constitution and subsequent enactment in 1908 statutes. The second follows the approval of reform amendments to the constitution in 1967. It is this second chapter, one hastened along by scandals involving Oklahoma Supreme Court justices in the 1960s, that led to the establishment of an Oklahoma court system that is modern in both structure and administration."

Two Court System

Oklahoma is somewhat unique in having two high courts, when most states have only one. They are the Supreme Court, which is the court of last resort in civil matters, and the Court of Criminal Appeals, which is the court of last resort in criminal matters.
