Flanders on Carcieri legal team against Beacon

Robert G. Flanders is among a team of attorneys representing Governor Carcieri in his court battle with Beacon Mutual Insurance Co. board members George H. Nee and Henry R. Boeniger.

Flanders, a former Rhode Island Supreme Court justice, has been nominated to join the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals.

Carcieri's spokesman, Jeff Neal, confirmed this afternoon that Flanders is one of the attorneys from the law firm Hinckley Allen Snyder assigned to the case. He could not say how many attorneys are on the team fighting to preserve the governor's right to fire the embattled Beacon Mutual board members.

Flanders was recommended to the federal court by U.S. Sen. Lincoln Chafee, R-R.I., in March. President Bush has yet to act on the recommendation, which is subject to Senate confirmation.
