Caterine Arrabal Ward

Bio

My legal studies include economics, business, criminal law, EU Law, Spanish law, International law and, now, Scots law. I completed a 4 year fulltime PhD in the field of International Criminal Law. I am now sitting the Aptitude Test for European Union lawyers and once I pass this test I will be admitted to the roll of Scottish solicitors without any further period of training. I have worked as a lawyer and research assistant for the Criminal Courts of Violence against Women in Alicante (Spain) and the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, completed a Masters in International Law at Glasgow University and I currently hold the post of part-time Lecturer in Law at Napier Edinburgh University where I have gained a substantial amount of teaching in Family Law (at LLB Honours level).

I completed a 4 year fulltime PhD in the field of International Criminal Law from Glasgow Caledonian University, the thesis for which I wrote on the subject of ‘Wartime Sexual Violence at the International Level- a Legal Perspective’. I have begun to develop a strong academic profile as an early career research in international human rights law and international criminal law.
