Federal Judge.
Born in Minnesota. Earned his law degree from University of Minnesota in 1948. Minnesota’s Attorney General from 1955 to 1960 and U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota from 1961 until his appointment to the Federal bench in 1966 by President Lyndon Johnson. Known as as activist judge whose most famous decisions involved the Reserve Mining Company and the A.H. Robins Company, which manufactured the Dalkon Shield, an IUD that injured thousands of women. In the Reserve Mining case, Judge Lord became the first judge in the country to order a major industrial plant to halt its operations in order to protect the environment. In the Dalkon Shield litigation, Judge Lord's actions helped lead to the recall of Dalkon Shield and the bankruptcy of the A.H. Robins Company.
In 1985 he stepped down from the bench and founded Lord & Associates Law Office, a private practice of law, where he was joined, for periods of time, by all four of his children.
