Art V Sec 3 Vacancy in the Board of Governors

If a seat on the Board of Governors becomes empty before the term is over, there's a set process for filling it. This bylaw points to another set of rules, Article IV, Section 3 of the Rules of the Supreme Court, which spells out exactly how that vacancy gets filled.

In practice, this means the Bar Association doesn't have its own separate method for replacing a Board member who leaves early. Instead, it follows the procedure already laid out by the Oklahoma Supreme Court. Anyone wanting to know the specific steps, like who appoints the replacement or how long they serve, would need to look at that Supreme Court rule directly.
