The owner of his own private practice, Christopher Carson is an attorney with an expertise in bankruptcy, family, and criminal law. Prior to beginning his career as an attorney Christopher Carson, earned his master's degree at Georgetown University, where he was named a Bradley Fellow for excellence in strategic thinking.

The oldest Jesuit and Catholic higher learning institution in the U.S., Georgetown University welcomed its first students in 1792 and awarded its first bachelor's degrees in 1817. Activities at the university nearly ceased during the Civil War, when most of the student body left. It was used as a temporary hospital in 1862. When the Civil War concluded, the student body elected to make the school's colors blue and gray after the colors of the uniforms of the Union and Confederate soldiers.

In 1851, Georgetown University founded its School of Medicine, followed by its Law School in 1870. The School of Dentistry began in 1901, with the School of Nursing beginning in 1903, and 1919 featuring the addition of the School of Foreign Service. By 1930, attendance had reached 2,600 students. When World War II broke out, Georgetown University again played a role, hosting the Army Specialized Training Program and welcoming women to join the School of Foreign Service in 1944. The School of Business Administration and the School for Continuing Studies were founded in the 1950s.

Today, Georgetown University is an internationally recognized educational institution, serving more than 12,000 graduate and undergraduate students each year.
