He also served as assistant judge advocate general of the Army, chief judge for the U.S. Army Court of Military Review (now called the U.S. Army Court of Criminal Appeals [http://www.jagcnet.army.mil/acca] ), and commander of the U.S. Army Legal Services Agency. Prior to retiring from the Army in 1990, Suter received the Bronze Star and Distinguished Service Medal. Suter obtained a B.A. from Trinity University and his law degree (LL.B.) from Tulane University. He was admitted to the bar in 1962.

As a Captain in the mid-1960's, Suter was a popular instructor of administrative law to hundreds of new JAG officers attending branch training in Charlottesville, Virginia. Before moving on to his next assignment in Vietnam, he attended airborne training at Fort Benning, Georgia, and won his parachutist badge.

To distinguish him from Supreme Court Associate Justice David Hackett Souter, Suter is often referred to within the Supreme Court by the nickname "The General" or as "General Suter".
