Carson earned his J.D., cum laude, from the University of Maine. While at Maine Law, he was selected as the Charles Harvey Trial Practice Immersion Fellow and served as an editor of the Law Review. Upon graduation, he was awarded the Alumni Association Award by the faculty for being an outstanding member of his class.

Prior to law school, Carson worked as an immigration services paralegal at the Latin American Association where he helped low-income individuals and families to navigate all aspects of the immigration process.
