Plain-English Summary (for reference only — not a substitute for the rule text above)
This summary is not the rule. The rule text controls.
If you use the Oklahoma Court Information System, you have the right to ask the Oklahoma Supreme Court to change its rules. This means you can ask the court to add a new rule or remove an existing one if you think a change is needed.
To make this request, you need to put it in writing. Your written request must clearly say that you are asking to modify the Rules for Using the Oklahoma Court Information System. You also need to be specific about exactly what change you want and explain why you think the change should be made.
Once you have written your request, you send the original plus two copies to the Administrative Director of the Courts. Simply mentioning a possible change or complaining generally is not enough. You need to spell out the exact wording or rule you want changed and give clear reasons why that change makes sense.
