Before his election in 2016,Shuck was a member of the Raleigh County Public Defender's Office since 2002. [1] He worked as a paralegal. Shuck was elected in the general election on May 10,2016,defeating then-sitting family court judge Bruce Lazenby in the election. [2] [3]
Shuck was investigated and admonished by the West Virginia Judicial Investigation Commission for the same misconduct as disgraced judge Louise Goldston of the 13th Family court circuit. [4] The complaint filed against each details the controversy of their conduct in entering individuals homes without search warrants and conducting warrantless searches. [4] Most notably,Goldston entered the home of Matt Gibson,during a court proceeding regarding Gibson's divorce,and unlawfully searched it. Gibson filed a lawsuit against Goldston,alleging the misconduct and unlawful search as a violation of the West Virginia and United States constitutions. [5] Goldston retired from the bench in early 2023. [6]
