The talk is open to the public and MTSU community, but seating will be limited. A political science class and political science Chair Michael Federici’s Constitutional law class will be in attendance.
“He’s something of a legal legend,” said John Vile, University Honors College dean and former political science chair, speaking of Bailey.The attorney was one of 100 key figures in a two-volume book titled “Great American Lawyers: An Encyclopedia,” published for Vile in 2001 by ABC/CLIO. Vile was editor of the publication.
“He (Bailey) established himself very early in his career and he became a very skilled criminal lawyer,” Vile added.
