Amal Alamuddin and her work

She's a pretty amazing lady. Take a look at this film from the International Bar Association about her factfinding mission to Cairo and recommendations post Moursi.

Been trying to find it on here, Sevens. It's somewhere, and Silly Girl posted her chambers website too.

I've tried to get the link for you from the International Bar Association's Human Rights Institute, but for some reason it's not happening, so google it, and then go to the short film on the recommendations for the judicial system in Egypt post Morsi, and you'll see the interview.

She was in Pakistan a year ago, with the United Nations' special rapporteur on counter terrorism and human rights, to report on US drones and civilians:

Yes, she is Counsel for the Rapporteur reporting to the UN

Well, since Our Hero doesn't want to get married anyway, there is no issue!

@Moderaters should this be moved to a general thread?  thanks

I wasn't sure, either, SG

Thanks PAN and SG, I think her work is so special it deserves an own thread.    So I moved your posts to a new thread. Maybe we can post here about her work. Maybe we get a better picture about her what she does.

Just to clarify something. 

The legal profession in the UK is run in a completely different way from that of the States.

Amal Alamuddin is a barrister. Which means that she's self-employed. So she can decide, depending on her case load, deadlines etc, when she goes on holiday, and how long for She belongs to a chambers which is a set of legal offices, with barristers using the clerks, secretaries etc etc.

Looking at everything she's involved in, I don't think she's doing too badly!!

Here's a short film from the UN in 2012 when Kofi Annan decided to resign from his Syrian Peace initiative, and she is sitting at the back

it's the film about the legal ramifications in Egypt's constitution and recommendations to change it. Several interviews part of the wy through

Sorry, Nicky, I've just put the IBANET link on the other thread too - aargh!

And Silly Girl put the Doughty Street Chambers link on here somewhere too. The listing of her on there is pretty amazing............

Thanks Nicky...

Take a look at this:

Without doubt I shall be signing this.

Can anyone sign or must you be a citizen of the UK?

It is a UNICEF initiative, so why not try? Worth a shot - really important

I signed it earlier - and then stuck it in another thread cos I wasn't sure.......

I think we all can sign this, I just did and then sent it out over twitter and facebook. This type of things are all I use these accounts for.

Thanks PAN for the update  

It would be brilliant if we all did!

Mazy - I just signed up. Didyou get any kind of confirmation that your informantion was accepted?

PS - pardon my typing/spelling - apparently I can't do this and eat dinner at the same time.

Yes I did Lizzy in my emails. No problem on typing, I wear out my keyboards and I might hit a key but it doesn't register.

Thanks, Mazy - Just got the confirmation. Now that I know you can sign up from anywhere I'll tell my friends to sign up, too.

This is a livestream from the Geneva Press Club, where Amal is speaking at length alongside Yulia Tymoshenko's daughter in 2012 when Yulia was still imprisoned for no reason

Thanks to Frenchies.

Beautiful standard British English from Amal's lovely voice! Perfect match for George's magnetic voice. Now I can confirm I LIKE Amal!  

It would appear from her cv that Amal also had clients that she worked for in claims against Enron in the criminal courtsin the States

Interesting because His Nibs has bought the film rights.......

I like very much the way Miss Amal talks. Not just the choice of words but the overall body language...it is both formal and professional, but with certain dynamics. Very interesting indeed.   

She has a strange voice, does not match his look lean, fragile, It seems that the voice belongs to someone else    

Now I also noticed that she has no breasts, "She's flat!"

Socorro George, what happened to you?
Sorry, fans of AA, I had to say it ...  
I'm leaving   

Always thought he is not a breast man.... Has he ever said it?

and is there any man who is not breast?

mainly American   

I like her personality and her career. In my opinion, she is a great woman for George. They will work together for care-seeking people in Sudan and other poor countries.

GC whole life only became interested in the appearance of women, no one will convince me that he is now only interested in a woman's personality, or has it changed much, or is there something behind this relationship.

You know what, even though I know Katiedot will rap me on the hand for this, Goodbye Catwoman and your catty spiteful jealous comments, cant say its been a pleasure.

Most men are interested first in a woman's looks then their personality so that's not earth shattering new news you're spouting here.

I do have some comments about you - you come across as someone who is very upset about George's choice, even though she is a woman of substance, has her own money and career, doesn't need George to further either and seems intelligent and interesting as you continue to find nothing but negative to say about someone you don't know and have never met.

And now you're spouting off about her not having a chest and her voice.  Such pettiness says nothing about Amal and everything about you.

You have issues catwoman and I frankly don't know what they are and don't care to find out but I also will say, I find your avatar offensive.  That being said, it's your choice what you put up as a reflection of who YOU are in your avatar.  You say droves about yourself and frankly, it's not very appealing, nice or flattering to YOU.

Catwoman´s avatar makes me think she/he is very young, like teenager or even younger.   

Well all kinds of opinions different people have.

She has a good career. But it´s possible she wants something else too.
What was interesting couple of nights back, I saw parts of Master chef UK, while making supper and it had criminal barrister from London as a judge. He had participated the show before and won, now he was opening second restaurant in London.

Old successful career as famous criminal barrister was history. He said he liked the new one so much better and publicity of course helps him with his current affairs. First lawyer I have heard that has changed career altogether.

Love hides in his hair. wrote:Maybe he found his life's woman. After long time, he looks very happy with her.

Similar to your avatar!  Cute Geroge!

Thank You Very Much theminis & Lorna for voicing my thoughts in your latest posts !   

I know we have to accept all opinions on here, but
really, there is a line that's unacceptable when passed.

Carla...many of our UK Members of Parliament are solicitors or barristers too.

Considering he dated the very voluptuous Krista Allen, as well as some of the other former girlfriends who had breast augmentation either during or just before dating George, I don't believe that's a true statement.

Please back on topic.

To be truthful some men find the slim almost boyish look/woman attractive!!

Not everyone is after curves and boobs!! iMo

This thread is about Amal's work so please keep it on topic. Thanks
