Chief Magistrate Judge Arthur J. Boylan, of the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, will always be known as the judge who helped save the 2011 season for the National Football League (NFL). The NFL settlement, however, was just one of the many cases he has brought to resolution. Now, after 17 years of being on the federal bench, Judge Boylan will retire on January 8, 2014, but will continue to apply his acute resolution skills to help parties privately mediate their disputes.
