Abstract
In the spring of 1984, as the parties were signing a settlement agreement, a federal district judge criticized one of the parties fordiscovery abuse and failure to recall a product known to be dangerous. The critic, the Honorable Miles W. Lord, United States Chief District Judge, District of Minnesota, was described by the Wall Street Journal as a "live wire federal judge." The object of Judge Lord's criticism was A.H. Robins Co., Inc. ("Robins"), the former manufacturer of the intrauterine contraceptive device known as the "Dalkon Shield."
