Lawrence Edward Walsh (January 8, 1912 – March 19, 2014) was an American lawyer, a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and United States Deputy Attorney General who was appointed Independent Counsel in December 1986 to investigate the Iran–Contra affair during the Reagan Administration.

After graduating from law school, he served a varied career in public life, including as special assistant attorney general of Drukman Investigation from 1936 to 1938 and as a deputy assistant district attorney of New York County from 1938 to 1941.

They were married from 1936 until her death from cancer, at age 52, in 1964.

1941

After a period in private practice of law in New York City from 1941 to 1943, he served as assistant counsel to New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey from 1943 to 1949 and as Counsel to the Governor from 1950 to 1951.

8. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on April 27, 1954, and received his commission the next day.

1957

His service terminated on December 29, 1957, due to his resignation, having served only three and one-half years as a judge.

After his resignation from the federal bench, Walsh served as Deputy Attorney General in the Eisenhower administration from 1957 to 1960.

1961

Thereafter, Walsh resumed the private practice of law in New York City, where he practiced from 1961 to 1981 as a partner at Davis Polk & Wardwell.

During this period, he worked on the Bendectin litigation and represented companies such as General Motors and AT&T.

1969

In 1969, on the recommendation of his former boss, Secretary of State and former Attorney General William P. Rogers, Walsh was named as an ambassador in the United States Delegation to the Paris Peace Talks in 1969, but held the position for only a short period of time.

1975

He served as president of the American Bar Association from 1975 until 1976.

1981

In 1981, approaching Davis Polk's mandatory retirement age, Walsh moved his practice to his wife's hometown of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, where he joined the firm of Crowe & Dunlevy.

1986

On December 19, 1986, Walsh was named as the independent counsel in charge of the Iran-Contra investigation.

His investigation led to the convictions of both former Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs Vice Admiral John Poindexter and former NSC staffer Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North, though both convictions were subsequently reversed.

1992

Walsh also brought an indictment on two counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice against former Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger in June 1992.

That September, one count, obstruction of justice, was dismissed.

On the eve of the 1992 presidential election, on October 30, Walsh obtained a grand jury re-indictment of Weinberger on one count of false statements.

One phrase in that superseding indictment referred to President George H. W. Bush.

Some believe that Bush had been closing the gap with Bill Clinton, and that this event stopped his momentum.

Clinton administration attorney Lanny Davis called the decision to indict a week before the election rather than after the election "bizarre."

Judge Thomas F. Hogan dismissed the October indictment two months later for being outside the statute of limitations.

Weinberger's subsequent pardon by President George H. W. Bush in December 1992 preempted any trial.

Walsh steadfastly denied that the investigation was politically motivated, while Bush and others criticized it as "the criminalization of policy differences."
