Russell Randle
I have practiced law for over 40 years, often in complex litigation, and worked a year as a judicial law clerk at the federal district court and in some cases at the court of appeals, helping to draft opinions. I currently serve on the SCSGCC, the body which helps General Convention update our canons, and previously served on Executive Council (2015-2022), where I helped write the Chief Legal Officer job description and update our conflict of interest and background check standards. I have studied canon law at VTS. While on the Standing Committee in the 2000s, when the Standing Committee played a more active role in discipline, I helped resolve three serious clergy discipline matters. I have helped in the pro bono defense of criminal misconduct charges against a clergyman and in private practice helped resolve civil claims arising from criminal misconduct by a Scout leader. I think my service would help both the Court and the TEC.
