Bolin was elected judge of the First Judicial District, Division "C" in Caddo Parish, on August 17, 1968 and was re-elected unopposed until his retirement. During his tenure, he served twice as Chief Judge. After retirement, he twice served the court as a temporary judge. He was an active member of the American, Louisiana, and Shreveport bar associations, the American Legion, and the Kiwanis Club, having served as club president in 1972. Bolin died in Shreveport and was interred in Forest Park Cemetery. He was survived by his wife of 59 years, the former Madeline Morvan (born 1928) and their six children: Madeline Ann Nance; John H. Bolin; Adele Hartrick, Glenn Hartrick; Jeanise Mulcahy, Patrick Mulcahy; Robert Bolin, Shelley Bolin, and Martin Bolin, and eleven grandchildren. Chief District Court Judge Charles Scott said Bolin "was a good mentor to many of the judges of the courthouse. He was a good friend and a good family man. He served the community very well, and we are saddened by his death."
