C.R.S. Section 13-25-106
Judicial notice of laws of other jurisdictions

(1)

Every court of this state shall take judicial notice of the common law and statutes of every state, territory, and other jurisdiction of the United States.

(2)

The court may inform itself of such laws in such manner as it may deem proper, and the court may call upon counsel to aid it in obtaining such information.

(3)

The determination of such laws shall be made by the court and not by the jury and is reviewable.

(4)

Any party may also present to the trial court any admissible evidence of such laws, but, to enable a party to offer evidence of the law in another jurisdiction or to ask that judicial notice be taken thereof, reasonable notice shall be given to the adverse parties either in the pleadings or otherwise.

(5)

The law of a jurisdiction other than those referred to in subsection (1) of this section is an issue for the court but shall not be subject to the foregoing provisions concerning judicial notice.

(6)

This section shall be so interpreted and construed as to effectuate its general purpose to make uniform the law of those states which enact it and may be cited as the “Uniform Judicial Notice of Foreign Law Act”.
