Larry Monroe Boyle (June 23, 1943–November 23, 2017) was a justice of the Idaho Supreme Court from 1989 to 1992.[1][2]
Born in Seattle, Washington, and raised in Pocatello, Idaho, Boyle graduated from Pocatello High School in 1961 and was a missionary in Ireland for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1964 to 1966.[2] He then graduated from Brigham Young University in 1968 with a degree in economics, served in the U.S. Army, and received his J.D. from the University of Idaho College of Law in 1972.[3][4][5]
Boyle entered the practice of law in Idaho Falls with the law firm of Hanson, Boyle, Beard and Martin, until 1986, when he was appointed to a seat on Idaho's 7th District bench.[6] He also served as president of the 7th District Bar Association, and as a member of the Idaho Judicial Council, which made recommendations on the appointment of judges.[3] While serving as a district judge, Boyle was called up to fill in on the Idaho Supreme Court on several occasions.[3] In 1989, Governor Cecil Andrus appointed Boyle to the state supreme court,[4] which was well-received even by political opponents of the governor.[3]
Boyle resigned from the court in March 1992 to become a U.S. magistrate judge,[7] and retired in 2008.[6]
