John Michael O'Connor (born 1954) is an Oklahoma attorney (currently a shareholder of Hall Estill) and a former nominee to be a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma, and the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma.

Education and career

A Tulsa native, O'Connor was born to parents Joseph, who worked on the Frisco railroad, and Mary O'Connor.[1] He earned his Bachelor of Arts in political science from Oklahoma State University, where he was student body president, and his Juris Doctor from the University of Tulsa College of Law, which he attended on scholarships and where he was elected president of the student bar association.[2][3] In addition, he was awarded a Rotary International fellowship enabling him to study law at Friedreich Wilhelm Rheinische Universitat (University of Bonn) in Bonn, Germany.[4]

From 1983 to 2018, O'Connor practiced at the Tulsa law firm he co-founded: Newton, O'Connor, Turner & Ketchum. That firm merged with the larger firm Hall Estill in 2018, where he currently practices with the corporate and business litigation groups. In 2006, the Tulsa Business & Legal News (a publication of the Tulsa World) identified O'Connor as a member of the "legal dream team" that anonymously-surveyed leading regional lawyers, judges and business leaders would recommend or choose to represent them in a courtroom.[5]

O'Connor serves on the City of Tulsa's Ethics Advisory Committee.[6] Since 2015, he has also served on the Board of Trustees for Oklahoma State University.[3]

Two complaints about O'Connor have been filed with the Oklahoma Bar Association, although neither complaint resulted in public discipline and he remains an attorney in good standing.[7]

Failed nomination to district court

On April 10, 2018, President Trump nominated O'Connor to serve as a United States District Judge for the United States District Courts of Northern, Eastern, and Western districts of Oklahoma. He has been nominated to the seat vacated by Judge James H. Payne, who assumed senior status on August 1, 2017.[8] On July 11, 2018, a hearing on his nomination was held before the Senate Judiciary Committee.[9] During his hearings Senator Kamala Harris said the Judiciary Committee should not have moved forward with O'Connor's nomination before the ABA released its rating.[10] On August 21, 2018, the American Bar Association rated O'Connor "not qualified."[11][7] On January 3, 2019, his nomination was returned to the President under Rule XXXI, Paragraph 6 of the United States Senate. As of February 2019, he had not been renominated.[12]
