Return To The Judiciary
Following the end of World War I and his exit from office, Williams had found favor in US President Woodrow Wilson. Returning to his first love, Williams once again became a judge in the Oklahoma Judiciary. Appointed by President Wilson to serve as an District Judge on the District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, William would, from 1919 onward, spend the remainder of his political career in the judicial branch. He continued his service as a District Judge until in 1937, President Franklin Roosevelt appointed him to serve as a Circuit Judge on the Tenth Circuit Court. Williams would hold that position until his retirement in 1939, but he would continue to serve as needed for the remainder of his life.
