Van Antwerpen served as contracts counsel for the Hazeltine Corporation in New York City from 1967 to 1970. He was chief counsel for the Northampton County Legal Aid Society in Easton, Pennsylvania from 1970 to 1971. He was in private practice of law in Easton from 1971 to 1979. He was a judge of the Northampton County Court of Common Pleas in Easton from 1979 to 1987.
On September 11, 1991, President George H. W. Bush nominated Van Antwerpen to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.[3] However, Van Antwerpen's nomination languished in the Senate Judiciary Committee, and it expired with the end of Bush's presidency. President Bill Clinton chose not to renominate Van Antwerpen to the Third Circuit.
Van Antwerpen was nominated by President George W. Bush on November 21, 2003, to a seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit vacated by Judge Edward R. Becker. He was confirmed by the Senate on May 20, 2004 by a 96–0 vote.[4] He received his commission on May 24, 2004.[1] "It's happened. We did it. And wow!" Van Antwerpen told a local newspaper after his confirmation vote.[5]
