As a lawyer, Murphy successfully represented an appeal to the House of Lords in 1774 against the perpetual possession of copyright held by book dealers on famous works such as Paradise Lost for 'a Bottle and a fowl.' The subsequent principle of non-perpetuity became known as 'Murphy's Law' before the same adage came to the contemporary meaning of personal misfortune.
