* '''[[John V.

He is the author of numerous publications on the subject. A law professor by education, he has been a litigator, law lecturer, arbitrator, and mediator, specializing in medical disputes for 27 years. Most recently, he and D.O.C. successfully defended Misha Boldt, a 14-year-old facing an involuntary religious conversion, including non-therapeutic circumcision, a cause that was eventually appealed to the United States Supreme Court.
