[edit] Biography
Staver received his B.A. in theology from Southern Missionary College (now called Southern Adventist University), his M.A. in Religion from Andrews University, and his J.D. from the University of Kentucky. He has argued before the Supreme Court of the United States twice--losing both times--and has argued before most of the federal courts of appeals.[1]
[edit] Legal Cases
In 1994 Staver argued the Madsen v. Women's Health Center at the United States Supreme Court, representing anti-abortion activists who fought a court order banning protesters from physically abusing and interfering those entering or exiting the clinic within a 36-foot buffer zone. The Court ultimately ruled 6-3 in favor of the Women's Health Center.[2]
