University of Tennessee College of Law graduates Winston Williams Jr. and Sharon Lee were among 24 alumni honored Friday by the university for their promise, achievement, service and distinction. Lee was presented the Distinguished Alumnus/Alumna Award — the single highest alumni award given — for her achievements in a career focused on seeking justice, first as a small-town lawyer and later on the Tennessee Supreme Court. Williams, a colonel in the U.S. Army, was awarded the Alumni Professional Achievement Award for his service to the country that culminated in his appointment as head of the Department of Law at the United States Military Academy.
