Embattled Judge Miles Lord Defends Dalkon Shield Rebuke
Federal Judge Miles Lord fights possible censure over his courtroom rebuke of three A. H. Robins Co. executives after the Dalkon Shield settlements. He says his outburst exposed profits over women’s health, while Robins accuses him of abuse of office. The 8th Circuit weighs misconduct charges as an appeals hearing nears in Kansas City. Lord counts Kennedys, Stevenson, Kefauver, Humphrey, McCarthy, Mondale among his supporters, yet remains controversial for past rulings.
