Oklahoma could be next to add Indian law to bar exam


Oklahoma could be next state to add Indian law to its bar exam.

The state Board of Bar Examiners discussed the idea but tabled it last November. An official said addition of Indian law to the test is inevitable. The Oklahoma Bar Association's Indian Law section supports the proposal.

New Mexico and Washington require knowledge of Indian law to pass their bar exams. Advocates hope Arizona, Idaho and Oregon will join the movement.
