NOW LIVE: MANAGE MCLE COMPLIANCE THROUGH MYOKBAR OBA members can now check their MCLE compliance and report exemptions through one single sign-on to MyOKBar. This means Oklahoma lawyers will no longer need to log in with an additional password to a separate website for MCLE compliance. This simplified sign-on will be more convenient and result in increased time savings for our membership. Visit your MyOKBar page at ams.okbar.org.
