Amal Clooney to Join Faculty at Columbia Law School
International human rights attorney Amal Clooney, wife of George Clooney, will lecture at Columbia Law School this spring as a visitor to the faculty and senior fellow with Columbia’s Human Rights Institute, the university reported Friday.
Clooney, who previously served as a senior adviser to former Secretary General of the United Nations Kofi Annan during his tenure as the U.N.’s envoy to Syria, and who also represented WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, will be in New York for production of George’s upcoming film Money Monster.
Formerly known as Amal Alamuddin, the Lebanese-born NYU alum told the school:
It is an honor to be invited as a visiting professor at Columbia Law School alongside such a distinguished faculty and talented student pool. I look forward to getting to know the next generation of human rights advocates studying here.
The university said in a statement: “We are privileged to have an international human rights practitioner of Amal Clooney’s stature join our faculty. Her extensive experience advocating before U.N. and regional human rights mechanisms complements our existing offerings and will enrich the experience of our students.”

I believe it was Lily Tomlin who spoke the words that reflect how I react to this stunning new bit of cronyism:
“No matter how cynical I become, I just can’t keep up.”
Well said!
