SCOTUS grants Illinois’s request to participate in Byrd oral argument

by · January 7, 2019

With oral argument in Byrd v. Tennessee (Tennessee Wine and Spirits Retailers Association v. Blair)  set for January 16, interested parties have ensured the Court hears their voices by filing a myriad of amicus briefs. Illinois’s (under the old Republican administration that was ousted this past election) led some States in filing a brief in support of the commerce-clause-violating restrictions that the 6th Circuit struck down giving rise to this challenge.

The Court on Friday granted the States the right to participate in oral arguments.

We’ve posted many of the briefs in favor and against the restrictions on granting alcoholic beverage retailers’ licenses based on residency requirements here, here and here.

The final reply brief, filed by the Retailers’ Association last Friday can be found here.

Hi there! I’m happy you’re here. My name is Ashley Brandt and I’m an attorney in Chicago representing clients in the Food and Beverage, Advertising, Media, and Real Estate industries. A while back I kept getting calls and questions from industry professionals and attorneys looking for advice and information on a fun and unique area of law that I’m lucky enough to practice in. These calls represented a serious lack of, and need for, some answers, news, and information on the legal aspects of marketing and media. I've got this deep seeded belief that information should be readily available and that the greatest benefit from the information age is open access to knowledge... so ... this blog seemed like the best way to accomplish that. I enjoy being an attorney and it’s given me some amazing opportunities, wonderful experiences, and an appreciation and love for this work. I live in Chicago and work at an exceptional law firm, Goldstein & McClintock, with some truly brilliant people. Feel free to contact me at any time with any issues, comments, concerns… frankly, after reading this far, I hope you take the time to at least let me know what you think about the blog and how I can make it a better resource.
