98.) Here is the definition for "international lawyer" as provided by "Collaborative Social Change". (2 min. read)
Contact information on "Collaborative Social Change" (CSC) to follow after their definition of international lawyer:
"International lawyers are guided by agreements and treaties between countries. They usually practice private or public international law and/or under the auspices of regional legal frameworks. To become an international lawyer, the first step is to complete a law degree and then pass a bar exam to register as an attorney in at least one country. This can be the country in which the person is a national or another country where they are allowed to register. For example, if I'm a Canadian citizen who completed my law degree in the UK, then I can complete the domestic process to register in the UK as a practicing lawyer. So this background is required for any so-called 'international lawyer'. Then, from there, what makes a lawyer "international' is that their work is affected by more than one jurisdiction, which can include international courts operating under international or universal jurisdiction. Jurisdiction refers to a specific geographic location or sphere where the legal system within which a lawyer can practice has a legal authority. So Canadian or American lawyers can call themselves 'international lawyer' if they have the right credentials and their work is affected by more than one jurisdiction."
