From improving New York City’s parks to a deal that released American hostages from Iran, Richard Davis’ resume for public service could keep several lawyers busy. He has been board chairman for The Legal Aid Society since 2010; a member of the New York City Campaign Finance Board since 2009 and served as board chairman for Citizens Union from 2004-2008.
Davis’ interest in public affairs came early. After three years with the Southern District U.S. Attorney’s Office, he went to work in the Watergate special prosecutor’s office. He served as chief trial counsel, where his accomplishments include successfully prosecuting Richard Nixon’s deputy assistant, Dwight Chapin. It was exhilarating and exhausting work; at one point he worked six months without a day off.
