He was an associate justice of the Superior Court of Massachusetts from 1946 to 1967.[1]

On February 21, 1967, Murray was nominated by President Lyndon B. Johnson to a seat on the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts vacated by Judge George Clinton Sweeney. Murray was confirmed by the United States Senate on April 5, 1967, and received his commission the same day. He assumed senior status on July 15, 1977, serving in that capacity until his death on February 12, 1995, in Boston.[1]
