Amal Clooney Puts A Festive Twist On Her Signature Silhouette

This weekend, around 400 politicians and business leaders gathered at the Kursaal Bern convention centre for the 2025 Prix Suisse, which was awarded to the multi-billionaire Dr Willy Michel. He was among the first to develop micro-insulin pumps in the 1980s, and is just as well known for owning an extensive portfolio of Franz Gertsch portraits and a superyacht with rotating beds. Interesting, too, was that the evening featured a conversation with Amal Clooney.

The barrister reflected on her transition from a New York litigation firm, where her pro bono accounts exposed the stark inequities in how justice is dispensed, to joining the war crimes tribunal in The Hague, where she represents political prisoners and victims of genocide. She also spoke about the work of the Clooney Foundation, which recently partnered with Oxford University to open the Oxford Institute of Technology and Justice, a research hub focusing on building new technologies to expand access to justice. Among its early projects is an AI chatbot, developed with the Women Lawyers Association of Malawi, connecting women to free legal support via WhatsApp, in cases such as child marriage.
