Iowa is in the Eighth Circuit, which covers a large territory:
- Arkansas
- Iowa
- Minnesota
- Missouri
- Nebraska
- North Dakota
- South Dakota
The US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit regularly sits in St. Paul, Minnesota; Kansas City, Missouri; Omaha, Nebraska; St. Louis, Missouri; and El Dorado, Arkansas. Since Iowa is not among the courts list, it seems reasonable to conclude Iowans are more law-abiding than some of their neighbors.
