Mr. Court has successfully defended service members (from E-1 to O-6) throughout Europe, the Balkans and the Middle East, through the end of the Cold War, Gulf One and Operation Iraqi Freedom.  His cases have been reported on Sixty Minutes ("An Honest Mistake"), CNN ("The Canal Killings"), and, over the decades of his practice, repeatedly in the Stars and Stripes, which even included a profile of him in 2007 entitled "Court for the Defense". 

Military Justice practitioners, both prosecution and defense, frequently seek his advice and opinion on their cases and he has often been asked to present trial advocacy topics at their Continuing Education Conferences, both in Europe and CONUS.  He has been asked to speak at the Military Judge's Conference in Alabama, which was attended by military judges from all branches of the Service, as well as from the military appellate courts.

Although not a "Talking Head", Mr. Court's reputation for knowledge of military legal issues causes journalists, both American and German, to contact him for a plain language explanation of legal matters appearing in their stories, both print and radio.

Mr. Carpenter is likewise regularly consulted by national media to comment on areas related to high profile courts-martial, and most recently the epidemic of sexual assault cases in the military augmented by the recent release of "The Invisible War."  Mr. Carpenter also received national notoriety in February 25, 2012, in a New York Times article entilted "Branding a Soldier with Personality Disorder."  Over the last few years Mr. Carpenter appeared as military justice expert on broadcasts of National Public Radio (NPR), Q13 Fox News and King5 News.  Mr. Carpenter also makes regular appearances on King Radio.
