Iowa Code § 654B.10: Judicial review.

An action for judicial review shall be brought in equity, and the action shall be limited to whether, based on clear and convincing evidence, the decision by the administrative head of the mediation service is an abuse of discretion. The action may be brought in either the district court of Polk county or in the district court in which the affected farm resident resides. Upon reversing the decision by the service, the court shall order that the service issue a mediation release.
