Washington Supreme Court OK's NA as Community Service

In State v. Law, decided by the Washington Supreme Court on April 21, the Court held that defendant's work for Narcotics Anonymous as part of a community service alternative sentence did not violate the Establishment Clause since the choice of NA was not compulsory. See court's fn. 20. The dissent agreed with the majority on this issue in the case.
