For our first post we decided to take a look Amal's biography. Amal Ramzi Alamuddin was born in Beirut, Lebanon, to father Ramzi Alamuddin, a retired professor of business studies from a prominent Lebanese Druze family, and mother Bariaa (née Miknass) Alamuddin, foreign editor of the Pan-Arab newspaper al-Hayat, who is a sunni muslim from Tripoli, Lebanon.

Amal has three siblings - one sister, Tala, and two half brothers, Samer and Ziad from her father's first marriage. During the late 1970's when the Lebanese civil war was taking place the Alamuddin family left for London and settled in Gerrards Cross. Amal was just two years old at the time.
Amal attended Dr Challoner's High School, a girls grammar school in Little Chalfont, Buckinghamshire. From there, she studied at St. Hugh's College, Oxford where she excelled academically, and in 2000 she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Jurisprudence. In 2011, the brunette continued her studies at New York University School of Law where she obtained her Masters of Law degree and was a clerk for the clerkships program at the International Court of Justice.

Amal has been involved in many high-profile cases, including representing the state of Cambodia and Julian Assange.
Amal returned to the UK in 2010, and has been working as a barrister for Doughty Street Chambers since. Her work there has seen her specialise in international law, human rights, extradition and criminal law. Amal is fluent in French and Arabic and has particular expertise in the Middle East region.
