No, I've included links in the past. It was a major point of discussion for a few weeks right after Judge Cote announced her initial decision. I'm sure if you put some work into it, you can find references to it, if not here, then on the internet. Some people said that it was an unusual thing to do that opened her up to the charge of bias, others waved it off as normal procedure. My understanding is that while it might be normal to keep notes and a rough outline, something to the extent that she seems to do is unusual. It certainly _gives_ the appearance of bias, which is something judges are suppose to avoid.
