Law students can get a limited license (I think it's called a Legal Intern's license, but don't quote me on that) that allows them to perform some of an attorney's duties, like interviewing and counseling a client or appearing in court, but only under the supervision of a licensed attorney. If the OBA (which licenses both attorneys and legal interns) is involved, that indicates that these students didn't even have an intern's license.

This is a BFD for those students, as practicing law without a license can get them into a lot of trouble, including preventing them entry into the Bar or possibly being disbarred if they've already made it.

Being in Tulsa, I'm guessing these were mostly TU law students, and their tuition ain't cheap (it was about $20K/semester almost 20 years ago), so that's a whole lot of money down the drain if they get nailed.

It’s not just students but at least one who took and FAILED the bar
