Opala Loses His Battle Against Age Discrimination

Justice Marion Opala recently lost his battle to return to the office of Chief Justice of the Oklahoma Supreme Court. His Honor alleged that the other members of the Oklahoma Supreme Court modified the rules of the court to block his return to the top spot on the court and sued on them on the basis of age discrimination. Opala is known for his rich use of language and stinging dissents that frequently skewer the arguments of his fellow justices.
