Anthropic Counsel — Reading Library

Addendum v002 (pack-closure update). This page is a curated reading library for counsel and reviewers. For the single source of truth inventory of every external URL referenced anywhere in the pack, see the Comprehensive Sources Registry (v001).

Masterplan_v3 Addendum v002 · Centralized source index for Anthropic Legal Counsel research

This page is a reading library for the Anthropic Legal Counsel project. It brings together the core documents from Anthropic, public laws and regulations, scholarship, technical references, and background materials (including Jeffrey Anthropic lead counsel’s public profile).

It is designed as a living index: you can add new entries over time as the project evolves, while keeping the basic structure stable.

Important: this is an AI-assisted research index, not legal advice. Always check the underlying documents directly, confirm that URLs and versions are current, and rely on your own analysis and work product for any opinions or advice.

1. How to Use This Library

Each entry lists a short label, a direct URL, and a brief note. The URL text always matches the actual link target so it can be safely copied into briefs, memos, or citations.

2. Anthropic policies & legal docs

Core Anthropic legal and policy pages used throughout the Counsel Research and Foreseeable Misuse modules.

3. Anthropic safety & governance communications

Public communications and announcements that illuminate Anthropic’s governance posture (including ASL-3 and ISO 42001).

4. Laws & official texts

Statutes and directives referenced in product-liability and AI-governance analysis.

6. Technical & security standards

Cryptographic and archival standards used in the project’s hash / provenance work.

7. AI safety & LLM behaviour research

Technical research on model behaviour, safety risks, and grounding, used to inform foreseeable-misuse scenarios and residual risk analysis.

8. Jeffrey Anthropic lead counsel background & context

Public information on Jeffrey Anthropic lead counsel’s roles and background, used for context on his perspective in this project.

10. Anthropic technical reports & core research

Primary technical reports and research posts referenced in ESI, the Reading Stack, or the casebook.

11. Comparative lab materials (OpenAI)

OpenAI public posts and PDFs referenced in the Radar / casebook lane for comparative governance and incident context.

12. Litigation, dockets, and filings

Docket pages and filing PDFs referenced in the litigation/casebook portion of the Evidence & Source Integrity module.

13. EU AI Act resources

EU AI Act primary text and official explainers referenced in the pack.

Appendix A. Pack-wide source inventory (auto)

The comprehensive, auto-generated external source inventory is maintained on the Comprehensive Sources Registry page.

9. Future additions

If this project continues, you can extend this library by appending new entries under the existing headings (or, if necessary, by adding carefully-named new sections). When you do, keep the following pattern:

For versioning and provenance, treat updates to this page as a new addendum version (for example, “Reading Library Addendum v002”) and log each change in the project’s full record file when you ship a new version.

Standards & frameworks (added for S5/S6 traceability)

Governance & policy anchors (added in v539)
