Abstract
The Honorable Randall Rader discusses current criticisms of the Federal Circuit and the speed of which the Circuit sets precedent. Before addressing these issues, he posits a belief that the standard by which the Circuit is being judged is incorrect. Judge Rader's speech gives a foundation by which a correct standard should be exacted, examples of the current atmosphere leading to the precedents being set, and generally addresses why the Federal Circuit is fundamentally unique from other jurisdictions.
