The purpose of this Subchapter is to describe the functions and responsibilities of the Legal Unit in the Office of General Counsel as well as client/employee responsibilities in legally-related matters. The Legal Unit is composed of the General Counsel and assistant general counsels, legal assistants, legal secretaries and other support staff. The Legal Unit provides consultation, legal opinions, representation and other legal services to the Oklahoma Human Services Commission, the Director of Human Services, and the Department of Human Services.
