Justice John Reif has sent a letter to Governor Stitt informing him of his intent to retire from the Oklahoma State Supreme Court effective April 30. Reif was appointed to the Court by Governor Brad Henry in 2007. He also served on the Court of Civil Appeals for 23 years.
“Justice John Reif has served the people and the State of Oklahoma as a respected jurist, with honor, distinction, and grace for over 38 years. We owe him a debt of gratitude for his consistent and faithful service. I look forward to receiving nominations for Justice Reif’s position from the Judicial Nominating Commission, and selecting the very best person to succeed him and begin serving our State as a Supreme Court Justice,” said Stitt.
The Judicial Nominating Commission will narrow down Stitt’s choices to three candidates to replace Reif.
