MOTLEY'S LAW follows the extraordinary story of Kimberley Motley, an audacious, tough-as-nails African-American who is the first and only Western litigation lawyer in Kabul, Afghanistan.

Main content

Kimberley Motley is an American international attorney and is mostly known for being the first woman and foreigner to practice law in Afghanistan. She is known for her no-nonsense, unapologetic approach to litigation. In 2009 she represented a myriad of afghan clients in Afghan courts, primarily women.

Kimberley Motley will highlight how she used the law to secure afghan women and children`s rights in a chaotic legal administration system, through her experience as an international attorney and human rights activist.

After the seminar, the floor will be opened for questions. 

The event is free and open to all. Light refreshments will be served.

The event is organised by Mino.Jur Bergen in collaboration with Bergen Resource Centre and Centre on Law and Social Transformation.
