Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 19 Oct, 16:02 · Archive

Amal Clooney, a barrister and human rights advocate, has returned to a luxury hotel in Oxford where she is a visiting professor.

Amal Clooney, an acclaimed barrister and human rights advocate, has returned to The Store, a 101-bedroom luxury hotel on the corner of Cornmarket Street and Broad Street in Oxford. She stayed there during the summer and again earlier this month for a dinner at the hotel's Treadwell restaurant, where she hosted a gathering on behalf of the Clooney Foundation for Justice, which she runs with her husband, actor George Clooney.

The foundation provides free legal aid in defence of free speech and women's rights in more than 40 countries. When appointed as a visiting professor of practice at the Blavatnik School of Government at Oxford University last year, Clooney said she was honoured to return to the university where she had studied. She read law at St Hugh's College, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Jurisprudence in 2000, and received the prestigious Shrigley Award for excellence in law studies.

George Clooney came to pick up his wife at the end of the evening last week. One observer noted that he 'strolled in looking debonaire'.
