ASA helps file Supreme Court brief related to showrooming
The American Supply Association (ASA) led several industry groups recently in filing an amicus curiae brief to the Supreme Court of the United States.
Joined by the American Lighting Association, the American Veterinary Association and other national associations, the brief was in support of a South Dakota case making its way to the high court.
An amicus curiae brief is written to bring to the court’s attention relevant matters not already brought to its attention by the parties in the case. ASA was asked to file a brief dealing with the burden placed on plumbing wholesalers by the practice known as showrooming, the ongoing trend of customers receiving the benefit of ASA members’ talented workforces, the measuring of and learning about products, only to customers make the purchase over the internet.
