Gislason received his Juris Doctorate from the University of Minnesota in 1969. He is admitted to the Minnesota State Courts, the U.S. District Court, District of Minnesota, and the U.S. Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit. The factors considered by the Civil Litigation Section to determine the award winner are whether the nominee contributed to structural improvements in the civil litigation system, advanced the cause of under-represented groups, and demonstrated a commitment to the civil litigation system over years of service without receiving any recognition.
