Plain-English Summary
Section 34 is a short reach-through clause. Everything in this cluster of clerk-duty sections — the docket, journal, filing, and record-keeping rules — applies to the clerk of any Oklahoma court of record, not only the district court clerk the other sections name directly, as far as each provision fits that other court.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do these clerk-duty rules apply only to district court clerks?
No. Section 34 extends them, as far as they're applicable, to the clerk of every court of record in Oklahoma.
What does “as far as they are applicable” mean in Section 34?
It means a provision written for the district court clerk applies to another court's clerk only where it fits that court's structure and practice; Section 34 doesn't force a mismatched rule onto a different court.
Which sections does Section 34 extend to other courts of record?
Section 34 reaches the clerk-duty provisions grouped around it — including the docket, journal, filing, and record-keeping requirements in Sections 22 through 35 — and applies them to the clerk of any court of record.
