MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. (NNPA) — Miami attorney Jason M. Murray becomes the Dade County Bar Association’s 99th president when he takes the oath of office on June 6, 2015, during the annual installation gala at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach. With more than 4,800 active members, the Dade County Bar Association is the largest voluntary bar association in Florida and is the bar association for all lawyers of Miami-Dade County. Murray will become the first African-American president of the Association as it celebrates its 99th year of service to the bench, the bar and Miami-Dade County. The ceremony at the gala also will include the installation of the Officers and Directors of the Association and its Young Lawyers Section.

Murray’s focus during his presidency will include continuing the work of breaking down barriers to racial, ethnic and gender diversity within the bench and bar of our legal community.

“Our goal,” said Murray “is to grow the Association by providing all Miami-Dade County attorneys with opportunities to increase their knowledge through CLE programs and expand their referral networks through the more than 250 events we host each year.” Murray also stated that “diverse lawyers must be given opportunities to participate in our programing and must feel welcomed at our events.” During Murray’s presidency, he will also promote unity and cooperation between the county’s local bar associations as the Dade County Bar Association commences preparations to celebrate its centennial next year.

Murray is the President and CEO of Murray Law, P.A. He practices in the area of franchise and distribution law and provides counsel and assistance with creating, managing, licensing, protecting and enforcing franchised business relationships, product distribution systems and dealership networks. His franchise and distribution law practice specifically relates to licensing and development, regulation and compliance, and dispute resolution through mediation, arbitration and litigation. Additionally, he practices in the areas of general commercial litigation in state and federal courts including intellectual property, real property, trade secrets & non-compete litigation as well as business litigation and trade regulation matters.

Seth Curry Makes Impressive Debut with the Golden State Warriors

Seth looked comfortable in his new uniform, seamlessly fitting into the Warriors’ offensive and defensive system. He finished the night with an impressive 14 points, becoming one of the team’s top scorers for the game. Seth’s points came in a variety of ways – floaters, spot-up three-pointers, mid-range jumpers, and a handful of aggressive drives that kept the Oklahoma City Thunder defense on its heels.

Tuesday night was anything but ordinary for fans in San Francisco as Seth Curry made his highly anticipated debut as a new member of the Golden State Warriors. Seth didn’t disappoint, delivering a performance that not only showcased his scoring ability but also demonstrated his added value to the team.

At 35, the 12-year NBA veteran on Monday signed a contract to play with the Warriors for the rest of the season.

One of the most memorable moments of the evening came before Seth even scored his first points. As he checked into the game, the Chase Center erupted into applause, with fans rising to their feet to give the newest Warrior a standing ovation.

The crowd’s reaction was a testament not only to Seth’s reputation as a sharpshooter but also to the excitement he brings to the Warriors. It was clear that fans quickly embraced Seth as one of their own, eager to see what he could bring to the team’s championship aspirations.

Warriors’ superstar Steph Curry – Seth’s brother – did not play due to an injury. One could only imagine what it would be like if the Curry brothers were on the court together. Magic in the making.

Seth’s debut proved to be a turning point for the Warriors. Not only did he contribute on the scoreboard, but he also brought a sense of confidence and composure to the floor.

While their loss last night, OKC 124 – GSW 112, Seth’s impact was a game-changer and there’s more yet to come. Beyond statistics, it was clear that Seth’s presence elevated the team’s performance, giving the Warriors a new force as they look to make a deep playoff run.
