Jessica Murray

From the start of her career Jessica Murray has been dedicated to helping individuals and families who have been harmed through the negligence of others including families who have been affected by birth trauma, people who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents, and people harmed by dangerous medical devices and pharmaceuticals. Jessica’s current practice is devoted to helping people suffering injuries caused by unsafe pharmaceuticals and medical devices.

Jessica has been committed to the art of trial advocacy for over twenty years—competing on multiple mock trial teams at all academic levels. She was appointed Chair of the Moot Court Board at her Alma mater, Mississippi College School of Law, and was inducted into The Order of Barristers.  Recognizing the importance of training others in the art of trial advocacy, Jessica continued to coach trial teams as a practicing attorney. Jessica served as a faculty member for the National Institute of Trial Advocacy and while practicing in Mississippi, served as President of the Mississippi Women Lawyers Association.
