That would not help. Supreme Court filings are so specialized that they generally only apply to cases being heard before the Supreme Court. The documents underlying the cases litigated before the Supreme Court (i.e., contracts, etc.) are generally not analyzed by appellate courts in any detail unless they are specifically relevant to a discussion of the legal issues being contested before the court.
Wasn't really thinking about Supreme Court filings, I was thinking the more mundane civil filings that happen day in and day out in say Santa Clara County Superior Court [1] where you can get a copy of all the documents filed in all the cases where the judge hasn't ordered the documents sealed.
I realize its kind of an odd thing to do, but you can go down to any US court house and just sit in the gallery and listen/watch. There are people who do this for Groklaw when they were following every bit of the SCO/Novell litigation.
The Novell/SCO case (and Groklaw for that matter) provide what I think would be a great service (when combined with copies of the original documents) so in the Novell/SCO case there were agreements about the assignment of copyright (or not) and how they were pleaded both by the defense and the prosecution. Reading how they were attacked and how they were defended gives tremendous insights into how such documents get litigated. Of course it costs time and money to have someone do that, but that (rather than just copying various public web sources for documents) would provide a real value proposition for someone who was trying to either come up with a document for this or wanted to know what questions/guidance they should give their attorney who is preparing such a document.
Litigated documents are generally a good example of what not to do, but are a poor example of best practices. That is generally how budding lawyers are trained in law school, and consequently the reason most legal documents are unnecessarily complex.
