When Do Federal Circuit Judges Sit (2022)?

Now that we're nearing the end of 2022 (crazy, right?), we thought we'd update our data on when Federal Circuit judges sit. We looked at this in early 2021 (When Do Federal Circuit Judges Sit?), and we've twice looked at data on how often the judges sit (How Often Do Federal Circuit Judges Sit 2022?and How Often Do Federal Circuit Judges Sit?).

As a reminder, we're looking at when Federal Circuit judges sit for oral argument. We count each oral argument panel a judge sits on. But we exclude panels that hear just one case, sometimes called plus panels because they're often identified on the schedule with a plus (like Panel D+). One-case panels can happen for a variety of reason, such as for the rare oral argument on a motion or when a case comes back after a remand (so some portion of the original panel is reconvened).
