Protégé: The path to international law as a new lawyer
With decades of experience behind them, many inspiring and incredible practitioners have made a name for themselves as international lawyers. While the feat may seem quite daunting for aspiring lawyers, our next guest shares why it is entirely possible to get started on this path to international law immediately.

In this episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Naomi Neilson is joined by post-graduate law student Sadaf Azimi – who has already gained years of experience in the international law space – to chat about why it is possible for all new lawyers.
For listeners concerned about how they could fit into this space, Sadaf said it is important to “rise to the occasion” in any job: “I would really encourage anybody who is thinking of applying to not be discouraged from job descriptions. It is likely that everyone will rise to the occasion and be more than equipped to do it.”
Sadaf also shares with listeners what her own international law experiences were like, including at the United Nations and the International Bar Association.
