Adjudicating international disputes

I studied law by accident. I didn’t come from a family of lawyers or have any legal connections. My parents actually advised me against studying law. My father was an academic in philosophy and thought law, as opposed to philosophy, was a narrowing influence on one’s mind.

Looking back, I think I followed a set of intuitions at various points without much strategy. I’ve never had a career plan – my career has been driven more by accident than by design.
