In 2020, Randall joined George Mason as dean of its law school. Previously, he served as dean of the University of Alabama School of Law for two decades. During his tenure, UA’s ranking rose from No. 96 to No. 21 on U.S. News & World Report’s Best Law Schools list. Scalia Law School’s rankings have also enjoyed a boost since Randall came aboard, rising from No. 41 in 2018 to No. 31 this year.
The law school had 436 students enrolled at the start of the 2024-25 school year, with 116 students in the entering class, an increase of 18.4% from 2023 but less than half the number of the 2021 class. Despite ongoing budget deficits, the school landed $7.6 million in gifts from donors last year.
In addition to leading Alabama’s law school, Randall founded iLaw Distance Education, an education technology company. The business was acquired in 2017.
An international law specialist, Randall launched his career at New York-based global firm Simpson Thacher & Bartlett. He earned his law degree from Hofstra University and went on to earn further degrees from Yale and Columbia.
