| Info | Gardner, has been a judge since May 1981 when he was nominated by former Gov. Dick Thornburgh. He was elected to his first 10-year term that November.
Gardner, of Upper Milford Township, is the second most experienced judge in Lehigh County.
Gardner graduated from Harvard Law School (1965), Yale University (1962) and Emmaus High School.
Before becoming a judge, Gardner was a partner with his father and sister in an Allentown law firm and was an associate in a Philadelphia law firm.
From 1977 to 1981, he was first assistant district attorney in Lehigh County, and from 1972 to 1977, he was an assistant district attorney.
Gardner was solicitor to the county treasurer from 1971 to 1977.
