About Stephen
Stephen L. Carter graduated from the University of Colorado with a bachelor's of science in journalism. After spending some time with the Peace Corps in Columbia Judge Carter returned to attend the University of Colorado School of Law.
Shortly after receiving his doctorate in jurisprudence in 1971, Judge Carter was appointed as one of the Garfield County, Colorado, judges. For several years, he was also a specially appointed district judge in the Ninth Judicial District to hear and decide all juvenile delinquency cases in Garfield County. He has acted as a settlement judge for District Court cases, an arbitrator, a hearing officer for local governments, and as a special master in probate matters. Judge Carter has volunteered his time to create the Garfield County Teen Court and is a licensed high-school soccer referee. In addition, he has practiced municipal, probate and real-estate law, first as a sole practitioner and then as a member of Carter & Sands, P.C., Rifle, Colorado.
His law practice emphasizes municipal, real-estate and probate law; representative clients of the firm have included a local bank and title company, the towns of Eagle, Parachute, Rangely, and Dinosaur, the City of Rifle, and all of the incorporated municipalities in Mesa County except for Grand Junction. He has also been involved as a litigator in the District Court.
