About Kirsten Bowman:

Kirsten Bowman graduated from SCU Law in 2005 with a specialization in international law. Since then she has worked for the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) in the Prosecutor's Office and at the International Criminal Court as the legal advisor to the Vice President of the Court.  Most recently, she has been the legal advisor to Vice President Blattmann of the ICC, who is hearing the first case before the ICC, against Mr. Thomas Lubanga Dyilo of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Kirsten has been working on the The Lubanga case for the last year and a half. Unfortunately, the case was recently halted due to disclosure difficulties. She will be returning to the ICTR in Africa on a short term project to help them negotiate with national States to implement international law into their domestic jurisdictions. Kirsten will discuss the path she took to get her positions with the ICC, describe what the work entails, and give an overview of the work on the Lubanga case.
