William G. Clark was born on July 16, 1924 in Chicago. He was educated at Loyola and Michigan State Universities, the University of Michigan and DePaul University. He was admitted to the Illinois bar in 1947 and admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court and the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. He was senior partner in the law firm of Arvey, Hodes, Costello, and Burman in Chicago. Justice Clark was elected to all three branches of state government: legislative, executive, and judicial, and was the third generation of his family to engage in public service. He was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives in 1952, 1956, and 1958 and served as majority leader in the 71st General Assembly. He was elected to the Illinois Senate in 1954, elected Illinois attorney general in 1960 and 1964, and was a candidate for U.S. senator in 1968. He was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in the 1960s, and a member of its Platform Committee and co-author of its proposed "Peace Plank" in 1968. He was elected justice of the Supreme Court of Illinois in 1976, retained in 1986, served as chief justice from 1985 to 1988, and retired in 1992. He succeeded Justice Thomas E. Kluczynski, and was succeeded by Mary Ann G. McMorrow.
