Larry Monroe Boyle

Larry Monroe Boyle (June 23, 1943–November 23, 2017) was a Justice of the Idaho Supreme Court from 1989 to 1992.

Born in Seattle, Washington, from 1964 to 1966, Boyle was a missionary in Ireland for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He then graduated from Brigham Young University, and received his J.D. from the University of Idaho College of Law in 1972.[1]

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 the 7th District bench. 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.[1] While serving as a district judge, Boyle was called up to fill in on the Idaho Supreme Court on several occasions.[1] In 1989, Governor Cecil Andrus appointed Boyle to the state supreme court, which was well-received even by political opponents of the governor.[1]
