Oklahoma Exhibit FAQs

How do I e-file exhibits in Oklahoma courts?

Oklahoma uses a dual system: OSCN (Oklahoma State Courts Network) for case information and the Odyssey filing system for e-filing. You must register for Odyssey e-filing access at oscn.net before submitting documents. Exhibits must be in PDF format with a 25 MB file size limit per document. Oklahoma has 77 counties, all using the same Odyssey platform.

What are Oklahoma's exhibit exchange deadlines?

Oklahoma exhibit exchange deadlines are set by the pre-trial order issued by the court per 12 O.S. § 2016 (Oklahoma Statutes Section 2016), not by a statewide fixed deadline. The pre-trial conference order will specify when exhibit lists must be filed and when exhibits must be exchanged. Missing pre-trial order deadlines can result in exhibit exclusion.

What exhibit marking system does Oklahoma require?

Oklahoma courts use the P/D prefix system: plaintiffs mark exhibits as P-1, P-2, P-3, while defendants use D-1, D-2, D-3 per 12 O.S. § 2016. This system is standard across all 77 Oklahoma counties. Exhibits should be marked before the exchange deadline specified in your pre-trial order and listed at the pre-trial conference.

What is Oklahoma County Business Court?

Oklahoma County (Oklahoma City) is the state capital and largest county, operating a specialized Business Court for complex commercial disputes. Cases involving business entities, commercial contracts, or corporate governance may be assigned to Business Court. Business Court has enhanced case management and stricter exhibit requirements. Request Business Court assignment early if your case qualifies.

Are there special considerations for Tulsa County energy cases?

Yes. Tulsa County is Oklahoma's second-largest county and handles significant energy industry litigation related to oil and gas production. Energy cases often involve specialized exhibits such as mineral rights documents, production records, and engineering reports requiring expert foundation testimony. While exhibit marking follows standard 12 O.S. § 2016 rules, energy evidence requires careful authentication.
