The ICC expert, especially the court lawyer, combines their everyday international legal work with the managerial work of having their performance appraised, committing to the court’s core competencies, and assisting with audit exercises. Indeed, the very process of applying for and getting a job at the court is guided by management ideas and practices. Throughout their ‘career’, from the moment they begin to apply for an ICC vacancy until their departure from the court, the ICC expert is mediated by a range of human resource management techniques. This chapter traces that professional journey into, through, and up the court organisation and the consequences of such identity work for the professional imagination of the international criminal lawyer. By engaging with management’s principles, models, meetings, forms, and reports, the ICC expert makes court, and self-optimisation, a lodestar of global justice.
