Amana Society Declared Legal by Iowa Judge
Judge Byington dismissed the State of Iowa v Amana Society finding no abuse of corporate power and that the sect may pursue its religious doctrine with secular means for sustenance. The ruling keeps the Mennonite group from re forming or changing its charter as supporters praised the decision. Wade represented the society and Fairall argued for the state in a case that drew state wide attention.
