“We want to name the Federal building on Jamieson Avenue in Alexandria, Virginia, just by the Federal courthouse, after Justin Williams because he was such an outstanding Federal prosecutor. He passed away August 31, 2003, while he was running along the Potomac River in Old Town. He had a heart attack. We lost a tremendous asset to the country and to the Department of Justice. Mr. Williams was also a wonderful friend to all who knew and worked with him. Justin Williams began his career as a lawyer after attending Columbia University. He then went to law school at the University of Virginia, where he graduated in 1967. He then moved to the Washington, DC, area and worked at the Department of Justice Criminal Division.
