On Friday, November 30, the American Society of International Law's Women in International Law Interest Group held a panel discussion on opportunities for young women in the field of international law. Even if you missed it, you can listen to the presentations and the Q&A sessions here. The panel offers many different views of an international law career, from the law firm angle, represented both by commercial litigation representing states and individuals and pro bono work representing Guantanamo detainees in habeas petition in US courts; to academia, illustrated by an adjunct professor position teaching international advocacy and coaching an international moot court team; to international criminal law work for the United Nations, clerking for the Office of the Prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunals for Rwanda and the Former Yugoslavia; to international legal options within the U.S. government, at the Department of Justice as a senior trial attorney at Office of Special Investigations at DOJ and as Deputy Chief Counsel for the ranking member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations; to the non-profit realm, at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation as a program officer in Global Health Advocacy division. Well worth a listen for those considering a career in international law!
