Shortly after receiving his doctorate in jurisprudence in 1971, Judge Carter was appointed as one of the Garfield County, Colorado, judges.

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.
