Begin the Application Process to Sit for the Legal Internship Examination

(Supreme Court Rulebook & Application Forms!)

The Oklahoma Licensed Legal Intern Program is administered for the Supreme Court of Oklahoma, in conjunction with the Oklahoma Bar Association, through OCU Law Career Services (LCS).

1)  To access the Rules of the Supreme Court of the State of Oklahoma on Legal Internship AND the online application forms, please click here.

2)  As a part of the application process, please schedule a brief meeting with Carol North, Legal Internship Program Administrator.

• • Use the Symplicity appointment scheduler tool to request a phone appointment (no in-person appointments will be conducted during the COVID-19 Emergency).
  • Documents will require a quick review prior to filing – additional information is often needed by the law school.

3)  Upload your application forms in Student Services D2L.

• • Assignment Folder: LLI Application File Submission.
  • This officially registers your intent with the law school to sit for the examination – the Form 1 application IS the exam registration, this is sometimes a point of confusion.
  • Paperwork must be submitted by the published application deadline.
  • Incomplete applications cannot be processed.

4)  File your application with the Oklahoma Bar Association.

• • Applications cannot be processed without the $50 non-refundable application fee.
  • If mailing, please allow sufficient time – late applications may not be processed.
  • Applications can be delivered to the Bar Center at the corner of NE 18th & Lincoln with a check, or the fee can be paid via credit card at the front desk.
  • Applications can also be emailed to the OBA Legal Intern Coordinator (Debra Jenkins at debraj@okbar.org).
  • If emailing, be advised there is no online pay portal – you can call in your credit card number to the OBA Legal Intern Coordinator at 405-416-7042 (direct line). Note: if she is out of the office, the fee can also be taken at the front desk (405-416-7000).

Refer to Regulation 3(F)
Students who have been granted special accommodations for law school examinations may request that the same accommodations be extended to the Legal Internship Examination.

• • Requests MUST be made known to the Legal Internship Program Administrator before the application deadline so that the appropriate arrangements can be made.
  • Last-minute requests may not be honored if there is insufficient time to make those arrangements.

Refer to Regulation 3(E)
For good cause shown, students may request permission to take the Legal Internship Examination at another Oklahoma law school.

• • Contact the Legal Internship Program Administrator for assistance.
  • Known academic commitments are not considered sufficient good cause.
  • In compliance with University policies regarding visitors coming on campus during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, permission may or may not be granted.
