TULSA COUNTY BAR FOUNDATION
The Tulsa County Bar Foundation, through its educational and charitable efforts, is continuing to expand our role of keeping the legal system accessible.
By providing seminars on topics of concern to the public, the Foundation not only informs citizens concerning their rights but also educates on the role of the judicial system and the use of alternative forms of the judicial system and the use of alternative forms of dispute resolution as a means to settle and resolve their disputes. The Foundation also sponsors and promotes the annual Law Week, its most visible public event. Activities include a law fair, court tours, mock trials, school poster contests, and speakers for school and civic groups. The Ask-A-Lawyer and Lawyer in the Library programs allow the public access to a lawyer for answers to legal questions without legal expense.
Through charitable donations to organizations such as B.C. Franklin Legal Clinic, Legal Aid, Iron Gate, Family & Children Services, and Tulsa Lawyers For Children, the Foundation fills a critical need in the community by assuring that those individuals in need of legal assistance have a place to turn regardless of financial ability.
LAW STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS
The Tulsa County Bar Foundation is authorized to fund law school scholarships of up to $2,500 per individual per year. The scholarships are intended for the benefit of law students in or from Tulsa County who are accepted to an ABA-accredited law school. The scholarships are offered and administered without discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, gender, or disability.
