Investigations, trials and appeals are all part of the job for international criminal lawyers. At Kerns Law Group, we specialize in defending clients abroad, with our managing attorney, Kurt Kerns, being one of only 26 American lawyers authorized to appear before the International Criminal Court in The Hague (Netherlands). International criminal law is a complex field that requires an understanding of how criminal justice systems work in different countries. It also requires knowledge of treaties between countries and the ability to prosecute people in another country for crimes that did not occur in the accusing country.
The United Nations Security Council has established several ad hoc tribunals to address these issues. Defending a U. S. citizen from a criminal charge in a foreign country requires an experienced international criminal defense lawyer.
At Kerns Law Group, we have tried more than 200 criminal jury trials in state and federal courts in the United States and internationally, and we have won several historic cases in criminal and white-collar criminal matters. Our attorney Dennis Boyle is licensed to practice before the International Criminal Court and the Specialized Chambers of Kosovo in The Hague (Netherlands). International criminal law courses include international legal research, comparative criminal justice systems and a research project. Students can also specialize in cybercrime, human trafficking or another area of international criminal law.
The most serious crimes of international significance usually refer to violations of the laws of war, crimes against humanity, genocide and aggression, as defined in the Rome Statute, which created the International Criminal Court.
