Happy Public Defender’s Day! On March 18, 1963—59 years ago today—the Supreme Court unanimously held in Gideon v. Wainwright that the Sixth Amendment right to counsel requires state courts to appoint counsel to those who cannot afford an attorney.

Our new office is nearing completion! Later this spring we will move from the Pythian Building to the 3rd floor of the Tulsa County Courthouse. Our office logo and slogan—introduced by former Chief Defender Rob Nigh in 2015—is prominently displayed behind our reception desk.

I am honored to appoint Judge Dana L. Kuehn to the Oklahoma Supreme Court.

Judge Kuehn is a diligent public servant and I have every confidence in her ability to uphold and defend justice for Oklahomans.
