About Stephen H Carpenter

Stephen H Carpenter Jr. educated in foreign affairs earlier than turning to regulation. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Foreign Affairs from the University of Virginia and later took his law degree from the University of Oregon School of Law, receiving a J.D. in 1995. He is likewise enrolled in a LL.M. software at Georgetown University Law Center, a credential currently pending.

His early career began in private criminal protection. In 1995 he worked at Carpenter Law Office handling criminal things. Four years later he joined the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps, serving as each trial counsel and trial defense counsel. That duration gave him courtroom experience in army justice at multiple ranges.

After uniformed service he moved into public sector prosecution. In 2004 he served as an Assistant Attorney General in Washington State. He later returned to personal practice and to roles that intersected with military law. By 2007 he used to be a senior associate at Blankenship Law Office and in 2008 listed as a court-martial defense lawyer with Court & Carpenter, PC.

Carpenter’s practice crosses federal and army lines. He holds admissions in Washington and Oregon, and he is admitted to practice before the Federal Circuit. His memberships in military appellate bars consist of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (since 2003), the U.S. Army Court of Criminal Appeals (since 2010) and the U.S. Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals (since 2012). He is likewise listed at the Military Commissions Civilian Panel for Guantánamo Bay, a registration that dates from 2010.

Professional education and certification have been a function of his profession. He finished Criminal Trial Advocacy education thru the U.S. Department of Justice. He has also participated in bar-affiliated teams that offer legal help to military personnel; he served as Chair-Elect of the Legal Assistance to Military Personnel Section of the Washington State Bar for 2011–2012.

Today he's associated with Court & Carpenter, PC. His caseload has included courtroom-martial protection and other criminal things that contain both civilian and army jurisdictions. He represents clients earlier than state courts, federal appellate tribunals, and military appellate courts, and he continues work on his LL.M. at Georgetown.
