James William Flanigan[1] (born June 20, 1974)[2] is an American politician serving as a justice of the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals since 2026.[3] Before being elected to the court he served as a Republican member of the West Virginia House of Delegates for the 4th district from 2024 to 2026 and previously represented the 51st district in 2016.[4] He was initially appointed to the chamber and took his oath of office to represent the 51st district on January 18, 2016.[5] However, he left after a year due to the rediscovery of testicular cancer, which he was first diagnosed with in 2007.[6] Flanigan was honored on the 2017 West Virginia Medical Cannabis Act.[1][6] He is an attorney.[6]
