I’m Rob Carter, a retired lawyer from Austin, TX, currently living in the Smoky Mountains of Western North Carolina. I’m recovering from 22 years of administrative law, but I’ve also done time in business law, litigation, real estate law, and even entertainment law. I wrote a book on the legal aspects of songwriting called Song Rights, and was an adjunct law professor at St. Mary’s School of Law for over a decade. I’ve chaired the Entertainment Law section of the State Bar of Texas and served on various music-related boards.
This site, Expressions of Interest, is a platform for sharing some of my creative interests outside the legal field:
Writing – I write short fiction, poetry, and memoir.
Music – I play guitar and sing. I write and co-write.
Radio – I host music programs on community radio.
Travel – Foreign and domestic. I’ll post some photographs.
