In a long and distinguished career, Michael Patrick Murray has been a trial attorney, both as a prosecutor and defense counsel, as well as a trial judge and appellate judge, along with serving as a United States Marine during the Korean and Vietnam Wars.
In addition, he has enjoyed extensive teaching experience as a law professor at four different law schools, putting his five university degrees and broad legal experience to good use in the academic venues.
When asked as to what aspect of his experience he enjoys most, Judge Murray advises, "Added to the genuine pleasure of writing about human nature and the law, as well as the challenge this presents, I truly believe it is a close call between studying law, teaching law, and fighting the good fight in court for truly worthy causes, the most important of which are truth and justice - neither of which are mutually exclusive - nor can they stand alone from each other in the courtroom. This is a hard fact that is lost on many lawyers today.”
