Biographical History
U.S. District Court judge for Western Washington; assignments with 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco and served as trial judge in many parts of the U.S.
George H. Boldt was born on December 28, 1903, in Chicago. Boldt came to Montana as a child, graduating from Stevensville High School in 1921. He received his A.B. from the University of Montana (then called the State University of Montana) in 1925 and his LL.B. from the same institution in 1926. He was admitted to the Montana bar in 1926; in Washington in 1928; and in all federal courts, including the Supreme Court. From 1928 to 1945, he was a partner in the Seattle firm of Ballinger, Hutson, and Boldt. From 1945 to 1953, he was a partner in the Tacoma firm of Metzger, Blair, Gardner, and Boldt. He also served as assistant attorney general for the state of Washington in 1940 and 1950. In 1953, he was appointed a judge of the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington. He became chief judge in 1971.
On October 22, 1971, President Nixon appointed Judge Boldt chairman of the newly created Pay Board, an agency established within the Executive Office under the Economic Stabilization Program. The Pay Board was responsible for overseeing pay increases as part of Phase II of the administration's wage and price freeze program (Phase I, a 90-day wage and price freeze, extended from August to November 1971). In Phase II, the Pay Board, together with the Price Commission, worked to meet the anti-inflationary goals set by the Cost of Living Council. For more further information, see Series XI, Pay Board Background.
Judge Boldt was a trustee of the University of Montana Foundation and a member of various other national judicial and legal organizations. He married Eloise Baird in 1928; they had three children.
