Thomas Walter Williams (1763–1833) was an English barrister, known as a legal writer.

Life

He was the son of Walter Williams, a London attorney living in Lamb's Conduit Street, and entered St Paul's School, London on 6 November 1772. He then studied law and was called to the bar, but was not much known as a pleader, his reputation mainly deriving from his writings. He died in 1833.^[1]
