On Thursday 22 October we welcome Professor Philippa Webb as our speaker.

She served as the Special Assistant and Legal Officer to Judge Rosalyn Higgins during her Presidency of the International Court of Justice (2006-2009) and, prior to that, as the Judicial Clerk to Judges Higgins and Owada (2004-2005). She was the Associate Legal Adviser to Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo at the International Criminal Court (2005-2006). Philippa is also a barrister at Twenty Essex Chambers, where her practice covers all aspects of public international law, including state and diplomatic immunities, territorial and maritime boundaries, treaty obligations, law of the sea, state responsibility, human rights, humanitarian law, law of international organisations and international criminal law. She has a significant pro bono practice and is involved in strategic litigation seeking to enhance accountability for modern slavery.
