Early life and education

Douglas H. Parker, the second of four children, was born in 1926 in Salt Lake City, Utah, to parents Casper Hugh Parker and Carrie Hansen.

Parker graduated from high school at the age of 16 and immediately enrolled at the University of Utah. During his second year at the university, Parker took the medical school admissions test and was accepted to medical school.

In 1944 during World War II, at age 18, Parker delayed entering medical school and enlisted in the Navy. Parker was assigned to the Great Lakes Naval Base near Chicago where he served as a surgery technician (scrub nurse) passing instruments in the operating room in over 400 operations.

Upon the close of World War II, Parker returned to Salt Lake City and subsequently served a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Eastern United States (1946-48). During his mission service, Parker served as a counselor in the mission presidency. Later in life (1977-80) he served as a bishop of a LDS ward in Provo, Utah.

After his church mission, Parker continued school at the University of Utah where he graduated with a B.A. in Political Science. He then entered law school at the University of Utah. At law school, Parker was a founding editor of the University of Utah Law Review and graduated first in his class.

Career

In 1952 upon graduation from law school, Parker received a distinguished Harry A. Bigelow Teaching Fellowship at the University of Chicago Law School, a fellowship given to top law school graduates in the country. At Chicago, Parker taught courses in Legal Writing, Legal Research, and Legal Analysis.

In 1953, Parker accepted a faculty position at the University of Colorado College of Law. As a professor of law, he taught courses primarily involving client care-taking: civil procedure, wills and trusts, equitable remedies, damages, and legal ethics. While at Colorado, Parker and colleague William J. Bowe accepted an invitation to revise the multi-volume treatise Page on Wills, (a five-volume treatise of the United States' law on wills and decedents' estates) expanding it to eight volumes. Parker taught at the University of Colorado for 22 years.

In 1975, Parker accepted a faculty position at Brigham Young University's J. Reuben Clark Law School where he sought to expand his intellectual grasp of the province and function of law in teaching a variety of new subjects of a comparative law nature: Federal Indian law, Roman law, Jewish law, Jurisprudence (Legal Philosophy), Professional Responsibility (Legal Profession and Legal Ethics), and Conflicts of Laws.

In 1986, Parker was the first law professor to be awarded BYU's Karl G. Maeser distinguished teaching award. He taught at BYU until 1991 when he retired. In recognition of Parker's contributions to legal education, a former student established in Parker's honor the "Douglas H. Parker Award." The award is presented annually to the student who attains the highest grade in Jurisprudence or Federal Indian Law.

Following his retirement, Parker continued occasionally to teach at other law schools as a visiting professor. When teaching in China with his wife Corene (1975-76), he was awarded the Excellent Teacher Award by the Shandong Province Education Commission. He claimed the award should have been awarded to Corene.
