Legal Services Corp. board Chairman Frank Strickland is an activist in the Republican Party, which has twice tried to eliminate the LSC by cutting its funding. "My political beliefs are aligned with Republican philosophy almost all the time. Arguably, this is an exception to that," says Strickland, who cites his work for Cuban exiles in 1985 as his start in legal aid. Strickland has also spent his entire 40-year legal career in small firms, saying big firms are "a little bit too regimented for me."
