Description

Hosted by Lance Chase, this episode of Focus Hawaii features Elder Dallin H. Oaks, former president of Brigham Young University, former Utah Supreme Court justice, and member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‑day Saints, in a wide‑ranging discussion of law, public policy, and moral issues. Reflecting on his career in legal scholarship, university administration, and judicial service, Oaks offers insights into the role of judges, the function of the U.S. Supreme Court, and debates surrounding issues such as pornography, abortion, and so‑called “victimless crimes.” He emphasizes the societal impact of individual behavior, arguing that legal and moral questions often extend beyond the individual to affect families and communities. The conversation also touches on international concerns, including the establishment of a BYU study center in Jerusalem and questions of religious freedom and cultural sensitivity.
