Marvin attended the [[Louisiana State University]] Law Center in [[Baton Rouge]], from which he graduated after three years of study in 1957. In 1989, Louisiana Tech named him a "Distinguished Alumnus".<ref name=obit/> In 1962, Marvin became an original board member of the Louisiana Tech Fuoundation, along with another Minden attorney, Luther Moore, and later Caddo Parish [[Sheriff]] [[Donald E. Hathaway].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.latech.edu/administration/policies-and-procedures/3101.php|title=Policy 3101 - Introduction, Foundation Programs and Operations, and Future|date=August 26, 2000|publisher=latech.edu|accessdate=June 23, 2014}}</ref>In 1990, the LSU Law Center named Marvin an honorary member of the Order of the Coif and inducted him into its hall of fame.<ref name=obit>{{cite web|url=http://www.genealogybuff.com/la/la-webster-obits5.htm|title=Charles Marvin|publisher=genealogybuff.com|accessdate=November 25, 2013}}</ref><ref name=mpressherald/>
In 1956, Marvin married the former Rebecca Campbell (born September 1935) of [[Minden, Louisiana|Minden]] and began his practice of law there with the firm Campbell, Campbell and Marvin, later Campbell, Campbell, Marvin, and Johnson. The first "Campbell" in the firm was John T.

James Bryan of Springhill, in northern Webster Parish.<ref>"Marvin Withdraws from Runoff Race with Bryan," ''The Minden Press-Herald,'' November 16, 1967, p. 1.</ref>
In November 1971, Marvin was elected to succeed John Bailey Benton, Jr. (1924-2009) of Minden, the interim DA of the 26th Judicial District. The position had opened when Louis H. Padgett, Jr. (1913-1980), resigned to run successfully for the state district court.<ref name=mphapril>"Marvin seeks judgeship; election se,'' ''The Minden Press-Herald,'' April 9, 1975, p. 1.</ref> Benton won in Bossier Parish by fifty-six votes but was overwhelmed by Marvin's majority in Webster Parish.<ref>"Marvin Defeats Benton," ''The Minden Press-Herald,'' November 8, 1971, p. 1.</ref> Marvin then won the full term in the position in 1972.<ref name=mphapril/>

In 1975, Marvin resigned as DA upon his election to the Second Circuit Court of Appeal]], based in [[Shreveport]]. Marvin defeated a fellow Democrat, [[Fred W. Jones, Jr.]], a native of Rayville in Richland Parish and a then district judge in Ruston.<ref>"Jones will seek judgeship," ''The Minden Press-Herald,'' April 2, 1975, p. 1.</ref> In the nine-parish race, Marvin polled 16,106 votes; Jones, 14,521.
