Original jurisdiction cases (such as disputes between states) may be assigned for preliminary review to a special master. To find these reports go to the Supreme Court's website at www.supremecourtus.gov and select "Docket", and then "Special Master Reports". The Supreme Court has only added a few to date, but does have plans to post older reports.
If you haven't looked at books.google.com lately it's well worth another look. Google has announced the addition of their 12th Library Project partner, Princeton University. Google and Princeton aim to digitize around 1,000,000 public domain books from Princeton and make them searchable on Google Book Search. A new option on the advanced search screen is a "Library catalogs" search option. For example if you searched for "people property or pets" with the "Library catalogs" option checked, you would retrieve a bibliograhic record for the book, and clicking "Find Libraries" and then entering "24450" you can display a list of all academic libraries that own the book sorted by distance from us (Washington & Lee Law Library does own the book so we are the first record).
