Call/email the OK State Bar Association and ask them.

Insured for what? If you are asking about E&O, and not life, health, auto, home, work comp, disability, etc., etc., then say so.

Unlike Western Union the site doesn't charge by the word.

No, insurance is not required to practice law in Oklahoma; but depending on your area of practice, confidence and assets, you might be a fool not to have it.

Now why didn't I think of that instead of going through all the trouble making a profile account here to ask for answer that are better left not answered. I mean really?, why even bother to answer unless you have an answer?. I'm not stupid and have been there done that. Getting a simple answer from those who should have one is next to impossible. That is why I am here now. Thanks for the effort¿.

Really? Wow, why are you even on here trying to answer peoples questions with sarcastic replies?. Western union and charging by the word?. You have way too much time on your hands. Please use it with someone else thank you.
Just for giggles tho' how does insurance for malpractice like Negligence work for ya?. I am not the Attorney here but I sure would not have figured the question was asking about auto/home or health insurance... Ever heard of anyone being Licensed and bonded?.

A better question is: Why do you care?

If you graduated law school and were considering hanging a shingle, you wouldn't need to ask that question here.
Implicit in your question is a desire to sue an attorney for some reason: malpractice, slip and fall, car accident ... we don't know.

Your problem is that you are being deliberately elusive, which impacts the quality of the advice we can provide.

And frankly, you are a bit of a butt.

OK, lets ask another way, When you googled this exact question, what part of the answer was confusing?

Wait a second there...

You actually CONTACTED the folks who would be the best authority on this matter and decided that they didn't know what they were talking about? Then, you decided to go "...through all the trouble making a profile account here to ask for answer (sic)..."? What makes you think that we would be a better authority than the state bar?

If you were as vague with your question to the Oklahoma State Bar as you were here, and if you were as rude to the Oklahoma State Bar as you have been here, I am not surprised you did not get a simple answer. When looking for FREE answers and FREE help, you should learn to respect those with the ability to provide both.

Here is a link to the Oklahoma Bar Association site with information provided by Jennifer Beale in an article written for the Oklahoma Bar Journal, October 6, 2012, Volume 83, Number 26: http://www.okbar.org/members/MAP/StartingALawPractice/InsuranceLawyers.aspx

You will note in reading this article that there are many types of insurance an attorney can (and probably should) have, hence latigo's post asking for clarification.
