Arthur Raymond Randolph (born November 1, 1943) is a federal judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. He was appointed to the Court in 1990 and assumed senior status on November 1, 2008.
Randolph was born in Riverside Township, New Jersey, and grew up in two communities in New Jersey, Palmyra and the Glendora section of Gloucester Township. He graduated from Triton Regional High School in 1961, as part of the school's first graduating class.
He earned a B.S. from Drexel University in 1966, majoring in economics and basic engineering. At Drexel, he was president of the debate society, vice president of the Student Senate, and a member of the varsity wrestling squad. In 1969, he received his J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania, summa cum laude. Judge Randolph ranked first in his law school class and was managing editor of the Law Review.
Judge Randolph then clerked for 2nd Circuit Judge Henry Friendly, which began a career in law in Washington, D.C., moving between private practice, government, and academia.
He started as the Assistant to the United States Solicitor General for three years, went into private practice briefly, and returned as the Deputy U.S. Solicitor General from 1975 to 1977. He also taught at Georgetown University Law Center from 1974 to 1978. In 1979, Judge Randolph was appointed Special Counsel to the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct (the Ethics Committee) of the United States House of Representatives, remaining in this position until 1980. He then stayed in private practice, becoming a partner at Pepper, Hamilton & Scheetz, until he moved to the bench in 1990. He held a number of positions while in private practice, including Special Assistant Attorney General for the states of New Mexico (1985–90), Utah (1986–1990) and Montana (1983–1990). He also served as a Member of the Advisory Panel of the Federal Courts Study Committee. From 1971-1990, Judge Randolph argued 25 times in the United States Supreme Court. President George H. W. Bush nominated him in 1990 to replace the seat vacated by Spottswood William Robinson III.
