She is a perfect example of a strong and independent woman, and she has the love and support of her husband George Clooney. She is Amal Clooney.

She's pretty and chic, elegant and intelligent, a wife and a mother. She is one of the most famous and photographed women in the world. And she is a role model and mentor to girls and women in the region who see her as a representative of strength and independence.

Amal Clooney did not become the woman that she is by marrying the famous American actor George Clooney but by making a name for herself even before marrying the actor as Amal Alamuddin, a successful lawyer specializing in international law and human rights.

Amal has the support of her husband, who has shown how proud he is of her and is always heard singing praises of her both privately among his friends and publically in speeches or interviews. The 56-year old actor can't stop gushing about his wife and how she's changed everything for him, including his views on marriage. “I met someone who I would absolutely trade my life for,” Clooney has said. “I met someone that her life meant more to me than my life, and I’d never had that experience before," he continued.

The love and support are mutual, as seen when Mrs. Clooney brought her husband to tears at the American Film Institute’s 2018 Life Achievement Award Gala Tribute when she took to the stage to praise her husband's lesser-known achievements calling him a "a gentleman in every sense of the word".

The Lebanese-British star is qualified to practice as a lawyer in the United States and the United Kingdom. She was admitted to the Bar in New York in 2002 and in England & Wales in 2010. She has also practiced at international courts in The Hague including the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court.

Clooney has been involved in high-profile cases in recent years with renowned clients such as Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, for his fight against extradition, former prime minister of Ukraine Yulia Tymoshenko, and the Egyptian-Canadian journalist Mohamed Fahmy. She has also represented the states of Greece and Cambodia as well as the former Libyan intelligence chief Abdallah Al Senussi and has served as an adviser to the King of Bahrain in connection with the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry headed by Professor M. Cherif Bassiouni.

A few years ago, Clooney was appointed to a number of United Nations commissions including as adviser to special envoy Kofi Annan on Syria and as counsel to the 2013 Drone Inquiry by UN human rights rapporteur Ben Emmerson QC into the use of drones in counter-terrorism operations.

On 25 February 2014, the UK Attorney General's Office appointed Clooney for the period 2014 to 2019 to the C Panel of the Public International Law Panel of Counsel.

In May 2014, Clooney was a signatory of UNICEF UK and Jemima Khan's open letter that called for "action from UK Government to protect women and children".

The 40-year-old lawyer, who works at Doughty Street Chambers, is also a philanthropist and fashion style icon and was even before marrying into show business. Clooney was chosen as Barbara Walters' Most Fascinating Person of 2015. At the 2014 British Fashion Awards, Clooney was shortlisted for Best British Style alongside David Beckham, Kate Moss, Keira Knightley, and Emma Watson.

In the field of philanthropy, Clooney is the president of the Clooney Foundation for Justice, which she co-founded with her husband George Clooney in late 2016 to advance justice in courtrooms, communities, and classrooms around the world.

Clooney and her husband sponsor a Yazidi student, Hazim Avdal, who Clooney met via her work with Nadia Murad as Avdal worked at Yazda. He is attending the University of Chicago.

One of her most successful and emotional cases was in 2017 when she took the case of Yazidi genocide survivor Nadia Murad, who was captured and tortured by Islamic State (IS). Clooney is Murad’s lawyer, and the two women have worked together to bring the leaders of IS before an international court for inflicting genocide on the Yazidis. The story of their campaign is an extraordinary one: a tale of pious savagery pitted against truth, law, and the soft power of celebrity. Murad since then has become a UN goodwill ambassador and most recently received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2018.Media described the case as Clooney's major success.

In 2018, after the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, Amal and George Clooney pledged $500,000 to the 'March for Our Lives' event and said they would be in attendance.

The beautiful barrister has some famous and inspirational quotes about human rights, women, life, freedom, and justice that inspire not only girls and women, but humans in general.

"If you are a lawyer and you want to take on easier cases, you can prosecute traffic violations or something. You'd have a very high rate of success, and you probably could sleep more easily at night, but that's not what drives me."

"As women, we may not be a minority, but there is a bond that we all share. It is not a bond of geography or religion or culture. It is a bond of shared experience—experiences that only women go through and struggles that only women face."

"I remember all the stages in my career where I almost didn't have enough confidence to try for something, almost didn't have the guts to follow something I was excited about doing because I didn't know anyone else who'd done it or other people made me question it."

"My name means 'hope' in Arabic, and I was born when there was a war in Lebanon."

"I want to work on cases that I feel the most passionate about."

"I believe in international justice. I believe it's important that you don't just turn the page without people being held to account."

“The worst thing that we can do as women is not stand up for each other, and this is something we can practice every day, no matter where we are and what we do—women sticking up for other women, choosing to protect and celebrate each other instead of competing or criticizing one another.”

"Protecting free speech is not only a matter of principle, it is also pragmatic."
