奥克拉荷马州最高法院以非民选法官违宪为由,推翻商业法院法。 Oklahoma Supreme Court strikes down business courts law, citing unconstitutionality of non-elected judges.

俄克拉荷马州最高法院于2025年10月7日裁定,旨在在俄克拉荷马市和塔尔萨设立专门商业法院的参议院632号法案违宪。 The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled on October 7, 2025, that Senate Bill 632, which aimed to create specialized business courts in Oklahoma City and Tulsa, is unconstitutional. 法院认为,法律允许法官由总督任命并由参议院确认,而不是由选民选举,从而违反了州宪法,破坏了宪法关于无党派司法选举的要求。 The court found the law violated the state constitution by allowing judges to be appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Senate instead of being elected by voters, undermining the constitutional requirement for nonpartisan judicial elections. 这项裁决使整个法律无效,维护了目前的司法制度,并拒绝在国家现有结构之外设立新法院的努力。 The decision invalidated the entire law, preserving the current judicial system and rejecting efforts to establish new courts outside the state’s existing structure. 州长Kevin Stitt表示失望,但这项裁决留下了商业法院的未来。 Governor Kevin Stitt expressed disappointment, but the ruling leaves the future of business courts in question.
