Denver, Colorado

When Denver's preeminent bookseller, The Tattered Cover Book Store, was presented with a search warrant demanding information on a customer's book purchases, the owner turned to Recht & Kornfeld. The result was a precedent-setting decision by the Colorado Supreme Court in favor of the bookstore, affecting First Amendment rights nationwide. The case was later featured in the documentary, "Reading Your Rights." View related mediaTattered Cover wins ruling: Court rules store doesn't have to give records to police
