Some sad news from the DC Circuit: Longtime Judge Stephen Williams died of COVID last night, the court confirmed. He was described as a “giant” of administrative law, and one of the court’s most well-respected jurists. https://t.co/kJXC9vDKMa

I am heartbroken to hear that Judge Stephen Williams has passed from COVID-19. A better man I have rarely met. Here he is officiating at @kdaugirdas‘s and my wedding. He will be missed. pic.twitter.com/UdA8xV5JFu

I am saddened by the death of DC Cir Circuit Judge Stephen Williams (due to COVID).
I argued before him numerous times and he always would get right to the heart of the case. And he always treated counsel and the other judges with respect.

I did not know him well at all. We only met a few times in passing. But it is difficult for me to imagine the D.C. Circuit or administrative law jurisprudence without the contributions of Judge Stephen Williams. May he rest in peace.https://t.co/A2OK1UymEZ

I am indescribably sad to hear the news that Judge Stephen Williams has passed. He was a towering figure in my life–as in the lives of so many of his former law clerks–and a model of decency and humility. Sincerest condolences to Faith and the rest of his family.
