IANAL and would butcher the explanation, so check out the Decision section.

[EDIT - removed - it seems I couldn't tell the difference between what was being overturned and the actual decision]

This is a case where being able to provide a bit of context for the link would be useful.


Thanks for the pointer. It also says...

> However, the Court also held that the regulation would apply only to the institution's financial aid department, not to the school as a whole.


The SCOTUS has nothing to do with this. It is the Iowa Supreme Court.

Related ruling from earlier this year:

https://statecourtreport.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/iowa-...




Direct link to the ruling: http://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/ca8/16-...

They don't link to it in the article. This should be the link, it has a summary of the ruling with it.



I recommend reading the actual opinion of the court [1]. You'll get a much better understanding than you'll get from reading Techdirt's poor attempt to explain it.

This is a pretty useless article. Here is the ruling:

Whups, link should have been to the decision: http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/14pdf/14-556_3204.pdf

Is anyone a little more versed in US law able to explain what kind of precedent this sets for further cases in Iowa or I'm guessing to be nation wide due to the judge being federal?

Presumably you are referring to California vs Greenwood. https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/486/35/

It is a court decision. Citing the actual law and context for it.



Perhaps what you're getting at was addressed in the Supreme Court case District of Columbia v. Heller: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_of_Columbia_v._Heller

Sorry, that's not standard terminology, I just used it because the case was discussed elsewhere in the thread. See the 5-point test here:
