With all the filings in the Google Book Search case submitted to the court in the couple of days, it’s hard to get through all of them. Even more so if you’re not an attorney. On his always current and informative site, The Laboratorium, Professor James Grimmelmann (New York Law School) has compiled an essential readings list of key briefs.

You can find the post here.

Professor Grimmelmann writes:

Here are some of my picks for the most interesting filings to come in yesterday. This list is far from complete, but these are the ones that I felt most had something new and interesting to say or were most fun to read:

Each document is linked on a page that also contains a few sentences about it from Prof. Grimmelmann.

The filings on the essential readings list include:

+ Amazon

+ The Open Book Alliance Supplemental Brief

+ Filing for an International Group, Carl Hanser Verlag, Lead Objector
