The judges of the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit are a hard-working lot. Despite being short-handed by one – three circuit judges during the year, they have been sitting by designation in other circuits in addition to shouldering their normal workload. So far this year, the judges have sat by designation as shown below:
Judge Lourie Third Circuit February 25-26
C.J. Michel* Third Circuit March 8-9
Judge Friedman Ninth Circuit April 4-8
Judge Archer Ninth Circuit April 15-16
Judge Rader** Fifth Circuit April 26-30
Judge Moore Fifth Circuit May 10-14
Judge Clevenger Eighth Circuit June 14-16
Judge Gajarsa First Circuit July 26-27
Judge Dyk First Circuit July 28-29.
