PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Statement from Attorney General Peter F. Neronha on the passing of former Chief of the Civil Division of the Office of the Attorney General, James R. Lee:

"Jim was a cornerstone of the Attorney General's Office for many years, and he leaves a legacy as an outstanding and dedicated public servant whose work had a profound impact upon the people of Rhode Island. I knew Jim throughout the years as a brilliant lawyer, a wonderful person to talk to, and as someone I admired greatly. My thoughts are with Jim's family and loved ones as they cope with this tragic loss.
