How Judge Williams decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
In pension review, Williams treated the plan’s own causation rules as decisive when a mine injury combined with a claimant’s preexisting limitations to produce total disability.
“The Trustees must accept a man working in the mines with his limitations.”
Procedural preferences
Williams accepted a discrimination charge signed under penalty of perjury as satisfying the statutory oath requirement.
“Fultz complied with the statute by signing and dating the charge underneath the perjury language, again as prescribed.”
Cautions
Williams deferred a jurisdictional ruling against individual officers when the record was insufficient and required focused discovery first.
“Therefore, the court orders the parties to engage in further discovery to develop a more complete record.”
