Prior to joining the court, Higgins was a member of the UN Human Rights Committee and a well known author and scholar, having lectured at universities around the world.

She has also previously worked as a barrister and Queen's Counsel, specialising in public international law and petroleum law. She appeared before a number of international tribunals, including the European Court of Human Rights and the International Court of Justice where she acted as Britain's counsel during the Lockerbie case.
