Indianapolis, IN - April 2009 – The Indiana University Maurer School of Law has inducted Lloyd Milliken into the Academy of Law Alumni Fellows, the highest honor the law school bestows upon its graduates. Others inducted at the recent ceremony included the first African-American graduate (1909) who was honored posthumously, and a former managing partner of a prestigious California law firm who on a pro bono basis successfully overturned the first degree murder conviction of a teenager.
The academy was created in 1983 to honor alumni who have distinguished themselves in their careers through personal achievements and dedication to the highest standards of the profession. The academy's 108 Fellows include a justice of the United States Supreme Court, a U.S. senator, federal judges, managing partners of national law firms and the renowned songwriter, Hoagy Carmichael.
Lloyd H. Milliken Jr. received his law degree with the Indiana University Maurer School of Law in 1960. Mr. Milliken has spent his entire career with Locke Reynolds, which recently merged with Frost Brown Todd, and has achieved national recognition for his work as a trial lawyer and leader of the defense bar.
His practice has focused primarily on representing defendants in product liability cases. Milliken gained national recognition for his service as Indiana counsel as for General Motors in the litigation against NBC arising out of the Dateline program that misrepresented the effect of high-speed crashes involving GM trucks. He has been inducted into the American College of Trial Lawyers and was named the Defense Trial Counsel of Indiana's Defense Lawyer of the Year in 1993. In 2007, Milliken was elected the inaugural president of the National Foundation for Judicial Excellence and received the Defense Research Institute's Louis B.
