Nina Tavakoli participates in the CBA’s “An Exploration of Opportunities in International Criminal Law”

Nina Tavakoli has been invited as a Speaker today (31st May) to discuss opportunities for Criminal Law Practitioners at the International Bar focusing on careers in international criminal tribunals.

The event which will take place from 6pm at Doughty Street Chambers is hosted by the CBA and will consist of an evening’s networking with CBA members focused on exploring the opportunities available in International Law and different pathways that work well alongside a criminal law practice.

Topics for discussion include:

• What can criminal lawyers from the UK Bar offer to the rest of the world?
• What can practice outside the UK offer to UK criminal lawyers?
• Contributions from individuals who have experienced both during their careers of varying spans.
• Practical areas of law where criminal lawyers can participate and add value to international and trans-national justice.

Speakers include: Kirsty Brimelow KC (Chair) Peter Carter KC (Chair of the CBA International Committee) Misa Zgonec-Rozej (Doughty St Chambers) Paul Garlic KC (Furnival Chambers) alongside others.
