Federal Circuit Clerks

I have often thought it would be interesting if someone would start a Wikipedia page listing past Federal Circuit clerks — much like Wikipedia has done with Supreme Court clerks.  It would be interesting to see where the clerks go after their service on the court and which undergrad and law schools the clerks attended.  To what degree do they go to work at the Solicitor’s Office, in-house, or private practice?  It would also be interesting to see how different technical areas are represented via clerks’ technical degrees. 

Searching for something else this evening, I stumbled across the web site The Clerkship Scramble [Link].  It had some information about law schools attended by recent clerks.  Maybe readers can help that blogger fill out the roster for blank years:

(I have to admit that some of the abbreviations used above threw me for a second.  I was pretty certain that the court was not hiring clerks from the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons (i.e., SLS).  But, it took a couple of further searches to locate Stanford Law School as being abbreviated that way, as well.)
