About Dr. James Bailey. Leading the Business of Law Firms. Feb 1, 2015. More jokes have been told about lawyers than any other professionals. But the business of law firms is no joke. $250 billion a year in the US, and Washington gets more than its fair share of the bounty.

About Dr. James Bailey. The Stress, the Switch, and the Sources of Renewal. Jun 15, 2015. Barra may not have created these problems, but she did inherit them. And she lives with them.
