Colorado’s Amazon Law: US Supreme Court Weighs In


IMG_1420On Monday, December 8, 2014, the United States Supreme Court will take up an important case for multichannel retailers.  It will hear argument in Direct Marketing Association, Inc. v. Brohl, a case brought to challenge a Colorado law that sought to impose notice and reporting obligations on out-of-state retailers only, including the annual filing of customer lists (including names, addresses, and dollars spent) with the Colorado Department of Revenue.  This one of the so-called “Amazon Laws.”  Brann & Isaacson represents the DMA in this lawsuit, and senior partner George Isaacson will be arguing the case.  Matt Schaefer, a partner at the firm, is co-counsel.

For those interested in learning more about the case, this blog has been reporting both on the implications of case (and important developments) as it proceeded through both federal and state court.  Along the way, DMA succeeded in obtain injunctions that have placed Colorado’s law on hold.  At issue now before the U.S. Supreme Court is whether federal courts can hear these kinds of challenges by nonresident mail order and Internet sellers.   Highlights of our coverage:
