International human rights lawyer Amal Clooney is using her knowledge to help others with a series of lectures at Columbia University.

The 37-year-old wife of Hollywood actor George was pictured walking around the campus as she made the most of a little sunshine on Monday.

According to the Guardian, the school recently announced she is to teach at the University this Spring as a visiting lecturer and a senior fellow with the law school’s Human Rights Institute.

She said in a statement: 'It is an honour to be invited as a visiting professor at Columbia Law School alongside such a distinguished faculty and talented student pool.

'I look forward to getting to know the next generation of human rights advocates studying here.'

Amal, former adviser to the former United Nations secretary general Kofi Annan, notably advised the Greek government in its battle to repatriate the Elgin Marbles from Britain.

The fashion lover looked both smart and summery as she made her way into the building, wearing a white pencil skirt with a loose fitting cream top.

She completed the look with a matching belted trench coat and gave her look a pop of colour with a bright orange leather bag.

Clearly a huge fan of heels, the raven-haired beauty also wore cream shoes which had an orange floral design and tied her look nicely together. 

While Amal will have a lot of commitments with her teaching work, her husband will be close by to her as he will be filming his latest movie in New York. 

George, 53, is set to start work on Money Monster, along Julia Roberts and Dominic West, with the film slated for release later on in the year. 

It tells the story of Lee Gates, a TV personality whose insider tips have made him the money guru of Wall Street. 

When Kyle loses all of his family's money on a bad tip, he holds Lee and his entire show hostage on air threatening to kill Lee if he does not get the stock up 24 and a half points before the bell.

Mix it up in floral pumps like Amal

Amal Clooney always manages to impress us in her stylistic choices and her Oscar De La Renta pumps certainly are no exception. We love the pairing of her statement accessories with an all white outfit.

Amal is a lady of class and brains which definitely shows through in her smart apparel. The different shades of white add a textural and modern feel to her outfit, which, not to mention, is perfect for spring. Her pointed pumps help elongate her legs while her bag draws attention to the rest of the outfit.

Whether it's defending the law or going on a date, this lady's got her stuff together. Get the look with a fresh pair of satin pumps matched with crisp separates. Unfortunately, Amal's exact pair is not available online, but you can purchase a similar ones on the Outnet. (right) Or you can look at the carousel below for more options.

Meanwhile, George wants to make sure sightseers stay away from him and his wife when they're in Lake Como.

And he has the support of local authorities - with the town mayor warning that anyone who bothers the actor, his wife or his pals or sets foot on his property faces a hefty fine.

Roberto Pozzi, the mayor of Laglio, has issued a new ordinance to protect Clooney's privacy and prevent people from bothering him or Amal while they're in the exclusive enclave.

Anyone who disturbs the occupants of the main house Villa Oleandra or Villa Margherita, an adjoining property owned by Clooney, or who sets foot on the grounds without permission could be fined up to 500 Euros - or $600.

The former ER star purchased the luxury retreat in 2001 and parts of the film Ocean's Twelve were shot there. 

Working well together: Amal will have a lot of commitments with her teaching work, but her husband will be close by to her as he will be filming his latest movie, Monster Money, in New York
