  • History of the Federal Courts of Oklahoma: 1975-2017
    History of the Federal Courts of Oklahoma: 1975-2017 William C. Kellough* “The judiciary has no influence over either the sword or the purse…neither Force nor Will, but merely judgment” A. Hamilton, Federalist No. 497 Introduction. The federal courts in Oklahoma were created and grew in influence over a long span of time as white settlers displaced or assimilated the Indians who had been granted the land by treaty in the first third of the nineteenth century. As the courts of the Indian Nations declined, federal courts replaced them. Before the white invasion, the Native American autonomous jurisdictions were inhabited either by wholly indigenous native people or the so-called “civilized tribes,” inhabitants of the southeastern states who were forced to emigrate. As the Indian Nations were absorbed and all but abolished in the late nineteenth century, the territorial judicial system, devised by the U.S. Congress, survived. For better or worse, these early federal courts and judges became the institutions left to deal with the explosive wave of white settlers and the uncontrolled economic expansion of pioneer Oklahoma. After statehood in 1907, federal court activity settled into the more predictable pattern of judicial appointments, docket management and jurisdictional and administrative growth as experienced by all new states. The first part of this history told this story starting with the earliest days of settlement of the land that would become Oklahoma up to latter years of the twentieth century.1 From Native American national sovereignty through Indian Territory and Oklahoma Territorial jurisdiction and finally statehood, Part I showed the evolution of the courts from the dispensers of raw, improvised frontier justice to a modern and professionally robust judicial institution.

I will reach into the stream of memory and pull out this or that pebble that has been cast there by my fate. The pebbles when cast may have had jagged edges, now worn away by the stream. So I tell it as memory permits, and maybe not entirely as it was. This could be called lying, but more charitably it is simply what life gives to each of us as our memories of events are shaped in ways that give us smiles and help us to go on. I do not have transcripts of all the cases in the book, so I recall them as well as I can.

  • A SHORT HISTORY of RAJA, 1976 to 2004 by John Jay Douglass (With a 2005 ̶ 2011 Addendum by Tim and Linda Naccarato and a 2012 – 2020 Addendum by Jim Gerstenlauer)
    A SHORT HISTORY OF RAJA, 1976 TO 2004 by John Jay Douglass (with a 2005 ̶ 2011 addendum by Tim and Linda Naccarato and a 2012 – 2020 addendum by Jim Gerstenlauer) In 1952, the Uniform Code of Military Justice came into effect and its first application in a combat area was in Korea. The act called for more military lawyers and many of the World War II veterans found themselves serving in a little known part of Asia. Some few had served as JAGs during the Big War but many were former combat arms or service branch officers who had attended law school after the war and now were wearing new insignia. Others were young law school graduates subject to the draft and looked to the JAG as their home for two years or four. For many of these, one of those years was spent in Korea. The Korean theater was cold and miserable or hot and uncomfortable. The cities had been destroyed by war. The air smelled of human waste spread on the plantings (Bob Hope is reported to have said on his debarking from a plane, “What is that smell. I know what it is but what have they done to it?”) The Korean culture and people were unlike Americans in many respects. All in all, the troops continually counted up their points and hoped for an early return to the Land of the Big PX. In the early fifties, the Land of the Morning Calm did not appear likely to become a tourist Mecca. Twenty five years later, the Korean government and its leadership recognized that the immense changes which had occurred were not comprehended by the thousands of troops who had served there from the United States, Britain, Australia, the Philippines and others.
