During his time as attorney general, Lund took prominent stances on many controversial issues affecting Maine at the time, even though some were outside of the jurisdiction of his office. Among these stances included opposition to the proposed Dickey-Lincoln Dam in Northern Maine, which he opposed on environmental grounds. The project was eventually stopped in 1984.

Lund is a graduate of Bowdoin College and Harvard Law School.
