As a law professor, Oaks did research on the habeas corpus and the exclusionary rules. In California v. Minjares , Justice William Rehnquist in a dissenting opinion , wrote 'the most comprehensive study on the exclusionary rule is probably that done by Dallin Oaks to the American Bar Foundation in 1970 . According to this article, it is an open question whether the exclusionary rule deters police from violating the Fourth Amendment to protect individuals.
As a judge on the Supreme Court of Utah from 1980 to 1984, Oaks has issued opinions on a variety of topics. In "In re JP" , a procedure has been established at the request of the Division of Family Services to terminate the parental rights of natural mother. DHOaks wrote that a parent has a fundamental right protected by the Constitution to maintain his relationship with his child, but the parent may still be deprived of parental rights upon proof of unfitness, abandonment and neglect substantial.
In KUTV, Inc. v. Conder , media representatives have requested a review by appeal of a prohibition order preventing the media from using the words "Sugarhouse rapist" or disseminating any information on previous convictions of the defendant during the duration of a criminal trial. DHOaks, in the opinion rendered by the Court, held that the order prevents the media from using the words "Sugarhouse rapist" or disseminating any information on previous convictions of the defendant during the criminal trial was invalid because it was not accompanied by the procedural requirements for issuing such an order.
In Wells v. Children's Aid Soc. of Utah a minor unmarried father brought an action through a guardian ad litem seeking custody of a newborn child who had been given to the adoption agency of State, then to relatives adopted, after the father had not filed timely recognition of paternity as required by law. Oaks, wrote his opinion to the court, said law defining the procedure for termination of parental rights of unmarried fathers was constitutional under due process clause of the Constitution of the United States.
