She assisted the team in the analysis of the Trial Judgement, the Sentencing Phase, and constructing the Notice of Appeal.

Quinn has previous research experience in examining the role of women as peace agreement actors from her time at the Peace and Conflict Resolution Evidence Platform (University of Edinburgh Law School), where she contributed to the Peace Agreement Actor Dataset (PAA-X). This research was generously funded by the United Kingdom's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). She has also provided ad hoc research assistance to Professor Dapo Akande.

Quinn received a Distinction on the Bachelor of Civil Law (BCL) at the University of Oxford. She holds an LLB in Law and International Relations from the University of Edinburgh, where she was awarded the Munkman Prize and Gilchrist Prize for study in international law.
