Charles R. "Chuck" Malone is a retired American judge from Tuscaloosa County. Malone served on the Tuscaloosa County Circuit Court from 2001 to 2011, when he resigned due to then Governor Bentley appointing him to the position of Chief of Staff. He was then later appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama later that year by Bentley, where he remained until 2013. He unsuccessfully bid for a full term as Chief Justice, however lost to Moore in the March 2012 Republican primaries and was then succeeded by him in January 2013. Later in 2013, Governor Bentley appointed him to a vacancy on the Tuscaloosa County Circuit Court. He remained on the bench until February 29, 2016. Malone said "I love what I’ve done for all these years, but I’m still young enough to practice law, and it’s time to do something different" [1].
