In 2012, the North Georgia District Court ruled largely in favor of Georgia State University (GSU) in the ongoing copyright lawsuit initiated by Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, and SAGE Publishers. The decision was the first US federal court decision specifically addressing fair use and electronic reserves. Plaintiff publishers appealed on many points of the ruling.
Oral arguments in the GSU copyright lawsuit (Cambridge v. Becker) are scheduled for tomorrow morning, November 19, at the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, room 339, in Atlanta. Following the arguments, the GSU Library and the American University Washington College of Law Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property will host a post-argument panel at 2:00–3:30 p.m. EST in the lobby of the GSU Rialto Center for the Arts in downtown Atlanta. There will be a free live webcast of the event at http://www.livestream.com/georgiastate.

- Brandon Butler, Moderator, Practitioner-in-Residence, Glushko Samuelson IP Clinic, American University, Washington College of Law
