a visiting professor at Columbia Law School in New York City. Later career (2010–present) In February 2010, Dow founded the legal firm Dow & Associates and that same month was sworn in by the Kenyan President as one of the justices on the Interim Independent Constitutional Dispute Resolution Court to help implement Kenya's new constitution. In 2011, she was elected as chair of the Executive Committee of the Commissioner of the International Commission of Jurists.

On 6 July 2012 Dow was appointed by the United Nations Human Rights Council as one of three independent experts to conduct a fact-finding mission on how Israel's West Bank settlements affect Palestinians. That year, she decided to
