Whereas, he is one of the most highly regarded lawyers ever to have been admitted to the Bar of this State and is known and deeply admired for his great intelligence, dedication, and service to humanity; and

Whereas, Marshall Williams' many contributions to the well-being of the State are greatly deserving of tribute and permanent recognition in a special manner. Now, therefore,
