Amish litigation grows in significance as the Christian denomination doubles in size in the United States every 20 years, and defends religious freedom with a 300-year-old faithful tradition. The precedents in these cases affect the rights of all religious persons.
Mast v. Fillmore County
In Mast v. Fillmore County (Sup. Ct. 2021), the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously held in favor of the Old Order Amish and vacated a Minnesota Court of Appeals ruling that had ordered the Amish community to install cumbersome machinery to handle gray water discharged from washing clothes and dishes. The RIFLA was central to this Amish victory.
The litigation continues in the trial court on remand.[1]
