OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Oklahoma Supreme Court Justice Rudolph Hargrave has announced plans to retire at the end of the year. Hargrave said in a letter Tuesday to Gov. Brad Henry that his last day will be Dec. 31. Hargrave is 85 and was appointed by then-Gov. David Boren in 1978. He is the state's most senior judge.
Hargrave received his law degree in 1949 from the University of Oklahoma. He served as a county judge in Seminole County, as a Seminole County Superior Court Judge and as a district judge before being appointed to the state Supreme Court. The governor will appoint a replacement from among three applicants submitted by the Judicial Nominating Commission.
