CORPORATE LADDER MAKING THE MOVE FROM THE BENCH BACK TO THE BAR BARBARA JONES, 65, spent 17 years on the bench as a U.S district court judge and 23 years as a federal prosecutor in Manhattan. But rather than retire, she’s starting a second career as a partner at litigation firm Zuckerman Spaeder. “I have never been in private practice; in some ways never been a private citizen,” said Ms. Jones. “This is going to be very challenging, with an amazing learning curve.” “She is more than a good fit; she is an ideal addition to the firm,” said Steven Cohen, a partner at Zuckerman Spaeder who served as Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s top adviser. “We wanted to expand our internal investigation practice and hire someone to examine a problem before it is externally investigated.
