SECTION 1. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) Judge Harold L. Murphy was born in 
Felton, Georgia, in 1927. 
(2) He attended West Georgia College before 
serving in the United States Navy during the closing 
years of World War II. 
(3) He resumed his studies at the University of 
Mississippi and the University of Georgia School of 
Law, where he graduated in 1949. 
(4) He began a law practice in Haralson Coun-
ty, Georgia, and in 1950 was elected to the Georgia 
House of Representatives as the youngest Member 
at the time. 
(5) Judge Murphy served five consecutive terms 
before stepping down in 1961 to focus on practicing 
law. 
(6) In 1971, Judge Murphy was appointed by 
Governor Jimmy Carter to the Superior Court for 
the Tallapoosa Judicial Circuit, and following his 
election in 1976, President Carter nominated Judge 
Murphy to the United States District Court for the 
Northern District of Georgia. 
(7) Judge Murphy was confirmed by the United 
States Senate on July 28, 1977.
(8) For 45 years, he served his country on the 
Federal bench and became an acclaimed jurist and 
legal icon with a stellar reputation that extended far 
beyond Georgia. 
(9) He always displayed a quick wit and a keen 
sense of humor, was kind and empathetic, and treat-
ed all those who appeared before him with courtesy 
and respect. 
(10) Judge Murphy worked tirelessly and car-
ried a full docket until the age of 90, when he took 
senior judge status in the Northern District of Geor-
gia. 
(11) He continued to preside over cases until 
his death on December 28, 2022. 
(12) Judge Murphy received many professional 
awards and recognitions, including from the State 
Bar of Georgia and the University of Georgia School 
of Law. 
(13) In 2014, Alabama State University re-
named its graduate school after Judge Murphy in 
recognition of his landmark ruling in Knight v. Ala-
bama, a long-running case that the Eleventh Circuit 
Court of Appeals asked him to handle involving the 
vestiges of racial segregation then present in the 
Alabama University System.
(14) Above all else, Judge Murphy was a loving 
and devoted husband and father—and a strong role 
model.
