Bar group named for Justice Murray

Today's DJ reports: San Joaquin County Bar names new Unity Bar for 3rd District Justice Murray.

The name was chosen "because he is a visionary who tried to start a Unity Bar in San Joaquin County 15 years ago, but he was told there wasn't a need for one," the association said in a news release. "The bar believes Justice Murray is deserving of recognition and honor for his tireless leadership to our bench and bar, as well as for his positive efforts throughout the entire state's judicial system."

The bar scheduled its first remote session Monday, featuring Murray, 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Consuelo M. Callahan, and Luis Cespedes, Judicial Appointments Secretary to Gov. Gavin Newsom.
A link to the Zoom meeting (today at 12:30), is here.
