The city of Wauwatosa will pay officer Joseph Mensah the equivalent of 13 months pay plus an additional $15,000, along with what he is owed for vacation and sick time amongst other benefits once his resignation becomes official at the end of the month . Mensah has been suspended since July after mounting pressure from the public to fire him after he fatally shot 17-year-old Alvin Cole. It was Mensah’s third fatal shooting in a span of five years. No criminal charges were ever filed. Kimberley Motley is the attorney for the families of the three people shot by Wauwatosa police officer Joseph Mensah. She says that while they are happy to see Mensah go, the fight is not over. “We believe that if [Mensah’s settlement agreement] shows that he can be on another police department, that doesn’t really solve the problem,” says Motley. After Mensah’s killing of Antonio Gonzalez, she says he should have received more scrutiny and any help that he needed. But now that he has since killed two more

This woman was not only the first foreign lawyer to practice law in Afghani courts — but she also won the first-ever presidential pardon of a moral case in the country’s history from former President Hamid Karzai. Seriously. From standing up for her Korean mother on the streets of Milwaukee to fighting against human rights abuses in Afghanistan and other countries, Kimberley Motley is an unstoppable social justice force. A former U.S. beauty pageant winner turned international human rights litigator, Motley has changed the lives of countless men and women around the globe. From overturning guilty sentences to freeing a pregnant 16-year-old rape victim from the clutches of an “adultery” charge (yes, really), Motley continues to take on both corporate and pro bono work to improve people’s lives. Discover firsthand what it’s like for women in Afghanistan through Motley’s vivid recollections. How did this one woman earn the respect of a patriarchal culture? She is outspoken, tenacious, and driven.

This episode of SheVentures is one of our most riveting installments to date.
Hoe kan een Amerikaanse advocaat het rechtssysteem van een land in oorlog veranderen? Kimberley Motley probeert die vraag te beantwoorden in haar boek De wet van Motley: een verslag van haar jarenlange advocatenwerk in Afghanistan. Een land dat zij vóór vertrek 12 jaar geleden nog niet eens op de kaart kon aanwijzen. Sindsdien zette ze er als eerste buitenlandse advocaat een succesvolle advocatenpraktijk op en staat ze ook pro deo kwetsbare Afghanen bij. Met die rechtszaken probeert zij het Afghaanse rechtssysteem stapje voor stapje van binnenuit te versterken. Collega Katy Sherriff sprak met de Amerikaanse advocaat over haar boek.

This week I celebrate 5 years since I handed in my notice as a criminal defence lawyer, litigator and Head of Department. I take you through my story of why I made that decision and 3 things that helped me decipher that 2015 was the year I decided to build a new arena for myself to play in. During this episode, I discuss how Kimberley Motley’s quote of “getting out of the boxing ring’ resonated with me so deeply and how that women leaving corporate and building their own arenas is indicative of what is happening on a wider scale. Is 2020 the year, you’re going to get serious about building your new arena? Is it time to assume a new version of power and significance? Is it time to express yourself more creatively instead of being conditioned to follow the rules? And why it’s crucial to win the internal battle first and allow your intuitive side to take the lead. “I discovered that I was no longer in the arena I wanted to play in — I needed to lay the foundations for myself for a new arena to play in, one built on my terms, with more meaning, more significance and built on feminine presence.” - Lulu Minns This Week on She Rebel Radio: I explain how I decided it was the right time to take the leap to build my new arena. I celebrate 5 years since making that decision and share with you 3 things to consider when deciding if it’s YOUR TIME to build your new arena. We discuss hard power (threats, competition, forcing, fear) vs Soft power based on empathy, understanding, support and collaboration. How exhausting exerting power in the wrong way can be Needing to express yourself creatively vs being stifled, following the rules, templates, systems and structures. How systems and structures in your new arena may also be keeping you stuck. Why finding your authentic voice is essential to creating that new arena Why winning the internal battle of allowing intuition to take the lead is crucial And why embodying change is more than mindset and connects with feminine presence Resources : Kimberley Motely - Desert Island Discs - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000b809 She Rebel Club - https://www.facebook.com/groups/sherebel/ Join the She Rebellion!

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.

What have almost two decades of American intervention in Afghanistan achieved? HARDtalk’s Stephen Sackur speaks to Kimberley Motley - an American lawyer who went to Kabul in a training capacity and stayed to become a respected litigator fighting for the rights of the abused and the powerless. The death toll in the Afghan conflict far outstrips the losses in Syria and Yemen. But the grim statistics tell only a part of Afghanistan’s story. Does her experience give grounds for hope or despair?
Lawyer Kimberley Motley took a nine-month assignment in Kabul, and never looked back, becoming the first foreign litigator to practice in Afghanistan's conservative and male-dominated courts
