Dick Bell Courtroom

The 250-seat Dick Bell Courtroom is one of the largest high-tech courtrooms in the nation. In fact, many state and federal courts have held appellate trials here, including the Oklahoma Supreme Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals.

With a nine-judge bench, jury and chamber rooms, closed-circuit cameras, and sound-proof observation rooms, this simulation courtroom provides students a premier place to practice lawyering skills.

Thanks to its ample seating, Bell Courtroom also hosts lectures, meetings, and moot court competitions.
