Chandler was born March 19, 1880 in Indian Orchard, Massachusetts to John Henry Chandler and Abbie White Chandler (nee Smith). He grew up in Massachusetts and California.

Chandler attended Stanford University before transferring to Harvard University, from which he received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1901. He obtained his Juris Doctor degree from the University of Chicago Law School in 1906.

Upon graduation from law school, was admitted to the Illinois State Bar Association, and began a 33-year career practicing law in Chicago, eventually becoming partner in the law firm of Tolman and Chandler. He served as president of the Chicago Bar Association and chairman of the municipal law section of the American Bar Association from 1938 to 1939. He also served as president of the Union League Club of Chicago and the City Club of Chicago.

When the Administrative Office of the United States Courts was established in 1939, Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes appointed Chandler to be the first director of the office on November 22, 1939. Chandler held that office for almost 17 years under four Chief Justices, until his retirement on October 31, 1956.

After his retirement from the Administrative Office, Chandler was tapped in 1957 by the territorial government of Hawaii to undertake an a study of the administration of territorial courts, and to recommend legislation to implement his findings. His recommendations were adopted with minor changes, and became the law of the state when Hawaii was admitted to the Union in 1959. The Supreme Court of Illinois appointed Chandler to serve as the first court administrator for the state of Illinois. He stepped down from that position in September 1960.

Personal life

Chandler's first wife was Helen Firman Mack, whom he married in 1906. Helen died in 1930, and Chandler remarried in 1931, to Olive Hull. He had one daughter, Margaret Mack Chandler, with his first wife.

Chandler died on December 12, 1975 in Bethesda, Maryland. and was buried at Oak Woods Cemetery in Chicago.
