shiyi18

Kimberley Motley is an American attorney and the first foreign lawyer to practise in Afghanistan.

Born in 1975 to an African-American father and a North Korean mother, she grew up in a poor neighbourhood in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where hers was the only mixed-race family - and the only family with two parents. Education was very important to her parents, who sent their four children to private schools and also paid for extra tutoring.

After completing degrees in Criminal Justice and Law, Kimberley spent five years working as a Public Defender before taking up the opportunity in 2008 to go to Afghanistan for a year to train local lawyers. Her husband, Claude, stayed in the US to take care of their three children. When her one-year contract in Afghanistan came to an end, she decided to stay and started her own private legal practice.

Initially she only took on foreign clients, but once she had familiarised herself with the intricacies of local laws and customs, she accepted her first Afghan client. She has gone on to build a thriving practice, with a 70-30% ratio of paid to pro-bono work. Her practice now extends to other parts of the world including Uganda, Ghana and the UAE and earlier this year she published a book about her working life.

金伯利-莫特利是一名美国律师，也是第一位在阿富汗执业的外国律师。

她出生于1975年，父亲是非洲裔美国人，母亲是朝鲜人，她在威斯康星州密尔沃基的一个贫困社区长大，她是那里唯一的混血家庭--也是唯一有双亲的家庭。教育对她的父母来说非常重要，他们把四个孩子送到私立学校，还支付额外的辅导费用。

在完成刑事司法和法律学位后，金伯利花了五年时间担任公设辩护人，然后在2008年抓住机会去阿富汗培训当地律师，为期一年。她的丈夫克劳德留在美国，照顾他们的三个孩子。当她在阿富汗的一年合同结束时，她决定留下来并开始自己的私人法律业务。

起初她只接受外国客户，但当她熟悉了当地错综复杂的法律和习俗后，她接受了第一个阿富汗客户。她后来建立了一个蓬勃发展的业务，有偿服务和无偿服务的比例为70-30%。她的业务现在扩展到世界其他地区，包括乌干达、加纳和阿联酋，今年早些时候她出版了一本关于她工作生活的书。
