As the daughter of a court reporter from a small town in rural Canada, Janet Walker has accomplished a great deal during her career as an international arbitration practitioner. She’s taught it, she’s written about it, she’s even coached a team that won the Willem C. Vis Moot in Vienna.
Janet also plays the French Horn and contrary to her last name, has developed fondness of running—especially if that can be paired with hiking and enjoying nature.
She’s also this week’s guest on Tales of the Tribunal—Sit back and enjoy her story:

When American lawyers graduate from law school, they attain a Juris Doctor, but none of them usually go by "Doctor" unless they get a PhD in law or some other field. What if that other field was...Medicine? What if the lawyer pursued that path after nearly a decade practicing international arbitration around the world?
That is exactly the story of this week's guest, Shareif Abdelwahab of Baker Hughes. Who is leaving the practice of law to start Medical School this fall.
Tune in, and hear his story!
