During that time, among other clients, he represented Princeton University, the Princeton University Press and the Institute for Advanced Study.

Judge Carchman started his judicial career in 1973 when he was appointed to the part-time position of Municipal Court judge of Princeton Township and Princeton Borough. In 1981, Governor Brendan T. Byrne appointed him to the office of Mercer County Prosecutor, and he served in that position until 1986 when Governor Thomas Kean appointed Judge Carchman to the Superior Court of New Jersey. During his judicial career, he has served as presiding judge of the civil, family and general equity divisions.

In 1995, he was appointed by Chief Justice Robert Wilentz to serve as assignment judge of the Mercer vicinage. Chief Justice Deborah Poritz appointed Judge Carchman to the Appellate Division in 1997. From 2004 to 2008, Judge Carchman took a leave of absence from the Appellate Division and was appointed the Administrative Director of Courts, where he served with three Chief Justices - Chief Justice Deborah Poritz, Chief Justice James Zazzali and Chief Justice Stuart Rabner. He returned to the Appellate Division in 2008, where he served until 2012 when he retired and went on recall status. He has authored over 1200 written opinions.

Judge Carchman has sat in every judicial position in New Jersey including temporary assignments to the Supreme Court. He has also sat on numerous committees, including the Rules of Evidence Committee.
