OKLAHOMA ATTORNEY NAMED TO GENERAL COUNSEL’S POST
(Oklahoma City) Oklahoma
City attorney R. Clark Musser has accepted the position of General Counsel to
the Oklahoma Corporation Commission.
Commission General
Administrator Larry Shaver said it was a “stroke of good fortune” that led to
Mr. Musser’s accepting the General Counsel’s position.
“We were very fortunate to
have the position open at a time when Mr. Musser was looking to shift gears in
what has been a very successful law career,” said Shaver. “Mr. Musser was
considering public service, which is what the General Counsel’s job is all
about.”
A noted oil and gas attorney
and past President of the Oklahoma County Bar Association, R. Clark Musser has
been the recipient of many honors over his 32 year career. They include Oklahoma Bar Association awards
for meritorious service, as well as outstanding writing and teaching. The
University of Oklahoma College of Law bestowed the Eugene Kuntz Award on Mr.
Musser for his contributions to natural resources law and policy.
An adjunct professor of oil
and gas law at OU’s Colleges of Engineering and Business for 20 years
(1979-1999), Mr. Musser has served as chairman of the Oklahoma Bar
Association’s Ethics Committee, and is currently a member of the Association’s
Diversity Committee. He is an Oklahoma Fellow of the American Bar Foundation,
past President of the Oklahoma City Real Property Lawyers Association, past
President of the William J. Holloway, Jr. American Inn of Court, and a member
of the honorary legal fraternity, the Order of the Coif.
An Oklahoma City native, Mr.
Musser was Director and President of the law firm of Musser & Bunch. He is
presently Of Counsel to the Oklahoma City law firm of Mullins, Hirsch &
