Each applicant for admission to the bar has a duty

to be candid and to make full, careful and accurate

responses and disclosures in all phases of the

application and admission process. Each applicant

must respond fully to all inquiries. It is not proper

for an applicant to give either a highly selective or

sketchy description of past events reflecting on the

applicant's qualifications for admission to the bar.

An applicant who violates this duty may be denied

admission to the bar.

RULE ONE

The Board of Bar Examiners is charged with

recommending applicants for admission to the

practice of law in the State of Oklahoma. The

in court, and if I know of any I will give knowledge

thereof to the judges of the court, or some one of

them, that it may be reformed; I will not wittingly,

willingly or knowingly promote, sue, or procure to

be sued, any false or unlawful suit, or give aid or

consent to the same; I will delay no person for lucre

or malice, but will act in the office of attorney in all

with all good fidelity as well to the court as to my

client, so help me God."

commonwealths or possessions of the United

preparing, trying or presenting cases before courts,

exacting and contain other limitations, restrictions

or conditions of admission, the admission of
