Lucien Dunbidden Gardner (1876-1952) was a justice of the Alabama Supreme Court from 1914 to 1951. He served as chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court from 1940 to 1951.
Gardner was an alumnus of Troy State University and the University of Alabama.
His son, Lucien D. Gardner, Jr., and grandson, William F. Gardner, also became lawyers. Gardner was a Baptist.
In a anti-miscegenation case ruling in Alabama, Gardiner stated that "It is reprehensible enough for a white man to live in adultery with a white woman thus defying the laws of God and man, but it is more so, and a much lower grade of depravity, for a white man to live in adultery with a Negro woman." [1]
