Dallin H. Oaks
Dallin Harris Oaks (born August 12, 1932) is an American attorney, jurist, author, professor, public speaker, and religious leader. Since 1984, he has been a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). He was president of Brigham Young University (BYU), a professor of law at the University of Chicago Law School and a justice of the Utah Supreme Court. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Oaks was considered by Republican U.S. presidential administrations as a top prospect for appointment to the United States Supreme Court. Currently, he is the third most senior apostle among the ranks of the LDS Church.〔Apostolic seniority is generally understood to include all 15 ordained apostles (including the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles). Seniority is determined by date of ordination, not by age or other factors. If two apostles are ordained on the same day, the older of the two is typically ordained first.

==Background and education==
Oaks was born in Provo, Utah to Stella Harris and Lloyd E. Oaks. He was given the name Dallin in honor of Utah artist Cyrus Dallin; Oaks's mother was the artist's model for ''The Pioneer Mother'', a public statue in Springville, Utah; she was present for the unveiling of the statue less than three weeks before his birth. His father, who was an ophthalmologist, died of tuberculosis when Dallin was seven years old.〔("Prophets and Apostles: Dallin H. Oaks" ), lds.org, retrieved 3 September 2014.〕 Both of Oaks's parents were graduates of BYU. After Oaks's father died, his mother pursued a graduate degree at Columbia University and later served as head of adult education for the Provo School District. In 1956, she became the first woman to sit on the Provo City Council, and served for two terms. In 1958, she also briefly served as Provo's assistant mayor.
Oaks graduated from Brigham Young High School in 1950. While in high school he played football and became a certified radio engineer. He then attended BYU, where he occasionally served as a radio announcer at high school basketball games. It was at one of these basketball games where he met June Dixon, a senior at the high school, whom he would eventually marry. Due to his membership in the Utah National Guard and the threat of being called up to serve in the Korean War, Oaks was unable to serve as a missionary for the LDS Church.〔Wilkinson. ''BYU''. pp. 13–14.〕 In 1952, Oaks married Dixon in the Salt Lake Temple. He graduated from BYU with a degree in accounting in 1954.
Oaks then went on to the University of Chicago Law School, where he served as editor-in-chief of the ''University of Chicago Law Review''. Oaks graduated with a Juris Doctor (J.D.) in 1957.
