Margaret Jean Lowery v. Oklahoma, ex rel. Oklahoma Bar Association

IFP petition · Supreme Court of Oklahoma, No. SCBD 8075 · judgment June 24, 2026


Pending

Questions presented

  1. Whether a receiving State may impose summary reciprocal discipline when the originating State never adjudicated preserved challenges to jurisdiction, charging authority, due process, Title II access, and attribution, and the receiving State declines independent constitutional review under Selling v. Radford.

  2. Whether the Fourteenth Amendment permits ex post jurisdiction by status (historic admission in one state with continuing licensure in another), where no adjudicated jurisdictional nexus connected the originating State to a retired attorney’s post-retirement, out-of-state conduct, and the receiving State thereafter sustained the originating State’s authority based upon historical admission and continuing licensure in another State.

  3. Whether Titles II and V of the Americans with Disabilities Act permit a State to deny a disabled attorney direct access by treating private counsel as the accommodation, and then to use the resulting exclusion or the invocation of accommodation rights adversely.

  4. Whether, before professional discipline may be imposed for speech, the State must establish through constitutionally adequate process both authorship and the actual content of the statement being punished.
