intl law is a broad field- trust me
theres : intl human rights law, intl commercial law (intl contract law), intl military law, environment, tort etc
a lawyer by definition (one of many) holds a law degree- even if he/she isnt praciticing.
so get one, or get an associates degree or a paralegal degree- i heard you can get one if ur in the US, not sure, here u can only get certificates for paralegal studies or legal secretaries - but all you do is help out the lawyer,
in the US, i read that paralegals also take up investigative work, im not surprised.
you'll deal with stuff like:
if ur a big company in Australia and ur dealing with a US co. in the USA, which court do you assign the "proper law" US LAW or AUST LAW?? this is contract law,
human rights: like go to the intl court at the hague or other UN backed courts to procecute genocide etc.
you can get a cert of intl human rights law at the hague and i dont think you need a law degree but i dunno where that'll get u. ( i was reading a book on islamic sharia law from a guy who did arts at cambridge and also the intl law cert from the hague- thats how i know)
comparative law is my fav, all the aussie expats get heaps
i know that in australia a lawyer starts at 56k usually, but if u dont like it, new york offers 1st year associates 300k and london's 1st year grads get 80k, we also have expats in germany/france too (im learning french/german/arabic- lookin forward to it)
try to get a law degree if u can afford it, our govt pays for us now, but we pay back later.

they can practice and know more about intl laws and how one nation laws affect another. go to www.state.gov to find out more. you would need a empathis on international law and economics.
