Kimberley Chongyon Motley is an American international human rights and civil rights lawyer. She is an attorney, author, entrepreneur, and former Mrs. Wisconsin-America 2004.[1][2][3][4] Motley is the first foreign attorney who litigated cases in Afghanistan.[5] To practice in Afghanistan Motley studied Sharia, "and established herself as the only foreign litigator in one of the world's most conservative and male-dominated cultures."[6]

While Motley's international human rights work began in Afghanistan, she now represents clients in other countries as well. Notable clients include the Prime Minister of Malaysia Anwar Ibrahim since 2022, Matthew Rosenberg New York Times journalist in his expulsion from Afghanistan, Niloofar Rahmani Afghanistan's first female pilot, and Cuban human rights activist and artist Danilo Maldonado Machado where Motley was arrested for representing him.

In 2014, Richard Branson named her as one of the fourteen most inspirational people.[7]

Early life and education[edit]

Motley is a "half-Korean, half-African-American former Mrs. Wisconsin grew up in a “hard” Milwaukee neighborhood filled with poverty and crime.[8] Hers was also the only mixed-race family in an ethnically tense area." Motley's father is African-American and her mother is from rural North Korea. Her parents met when her father was in the military and her mother immigrated to the U.S. Motley was raised in a "hard" neighborhood in Milwaukee.[2] She became interested in law after a teacher assigned Law & Order for class and after witnessing her father's legal fight for disability after being laid off after a car accident.[2]

Motley received an Associate of Arts and Sciences (A.A.S.) degree from Milwaukee Area Technical College in 1997. She received a B.A. degree from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee in 2000, and in 2003 received an M.A. from the same institution. In the same year, she earned a J.D. from Marquette University Law School.[9]

Career[edit]

In 2008, after working as a public defender in Milwaukee for five years, Motley went to Afghanistan as part of a nine-month legal education program run by the U.S. State Department to train Afghan lawyers.[10] She had never traveled outside the U.S. before.[2] "In that nine months," she later recalled in a 2014 TED talk, "I went around the country and I talked to hundreds of people that were locked up, and I talked to many businesses that were also operating in Afghanistan. And within these conversations, I started hearing the connections between the businesses and the people, and how laws that were meant to protect them were being underused, while gross and illegal punitive measures were overused. And so this put me on a quest for justness, and what justness means to me is using laws for their intended purpose, which is to protect. The role of laws is to protect. So as a result, I decided to open up a private practice, and I became the first foreigner to litigate in Afghan courts.".[10] Motley has successfully represented numerous Afghan women pro bono in Afghanistan whose human rights were violated.[11]

In 2004, Motley was crowned Mrs. Wisconsin.[12]

At first she represented Westerners in Afghan prisons without legal representation.[13] "What I found," she later recalled, "is that most did not have proper legal representation. If they were English-speaking, they had no idea what was going on in court. I felt and still feel a great responsibility for them as a person and as a lawyer."[2]

Motley's first defendant was "an African woman convicted of drug trafficking. She was a drug mule sent to Afghanistan by a European pimp imprisoned for two years with her 3-year-old daughter. She was convicted of 14 years in prison, and had gone through almost all of her legal options. Eventually Motley was able to secure a presidential decree ordering the woman's release.[2]

Since 2009, Motley has been the CEO of Motley Legal Services, which provides legal representation in the U.S. Afghanistan, and other countries [9] She spends approximately nine months a year in Afghanistan, where she provides pro bono representation particularly for Afghan women on human-rights cases and persons charged with criminal offenses in Afghanistan.[2] Motley has worked in mentoring attorneys and on rule of law internationally.[10] She worked in Badam Bagh women's prison in Afghanistan giving pro bono legal advice.[6] She is registered as an attorney with the American, French, U.A.E., Australian, Spanish, Dutch, British, Italian, Norwegian, German, and Canadian Embassies in Afghanistan, and is thus routinely contacted by expatriates who are facing legal troubles with Afghan authorities.[14]

The Daily Beast in 2010, "and often her work starts after the verdict—as in the case of an Australian on death row, convicted of killing an Afghan colleague in self-defense; a South African sentenced to fifteen years in prison on drug charges, and a Brit convicted of fraud." For example, "she successfully won a not guilty verdict for the release of Bill Shaw, a former British military officer, who had been held in the notorious Pul-e-charki prison for five months.

Motley studied Sharia,and "developed her own approach to operating in the Afghan courts," reported The Daily Beast. For example, "she never wears a veil or a dress" during a trial. She explained, "I need to look like a man as much as possible...I find that men hear me more when I don't wear a headscarf. I wore it at first, and when I took it off, I found men were more respectful."[14][6]

As of 2010, Motley was under a threat from the Afghan District Attorney's office to arrest her next time she set foot in Kabul, as retribution for her harsh criticism of Afghanistan's corrupt judicial system. She had no hesitation about returning. She also noted that she received death threats and rape threats.[14] She has also "been temporarily detained" and "accused of running a brothel" and of espionage. A grenade was thrown at her office. But she has said that the rewards of her job "far outweigh the risks, and as many risks as I take, my clients take far greater risks, because they have a lot more to lose if their cases go unheard, or worse, if they're penalized for having me as their lawyer. With every case that I take, I realize that as much as I'm standing behind my clients, that they're also standing behind me, and that's what keeps me going."[10]

On June 21, 2014, Motley's husband, Claudiare Motley, was shot in Milwaukee after attending a high school reunion due to an attempted carjacking committed by Nathan King a sixteen year old.[15][16] Eventually King was shot while attempting another robbery and became paralyzed as a result.[17] Motley represented Claudiare and Victoria Davison, the woman who shot King, in Court. On July 16, 2015, King was found guilty of the two counts of Attempted Armed Robbery against Motley and Davison and ultimately received twelve years in prison and eight years extended supervision prison sentence.[citation needed]. A documentary about Motley's husband shooting entitled, When Claude Got Shot, won an Exceptional Merit in Documentary Filmmaking Emmy in 2022.[18]

On December 16, 2016, Motley went to Havana, Cuba to represent activist and artist Danilo Machado. While in Havana, Motley was arrested without charge and subsequently deported from Cuba. On January 21, 2017, Machado was released from El Combinado del Este prison without charge.[19]

In June 2021 Motley helped a decorated Afghan Air Force pilot Naiem Asadi and his family leave Afghanistan. The Taliban posted pictures of Major Asadi online with the instructions to, "Find him and kill him."[20] Motley helped the family obtain humanitarian parole visas to the U.S. In 2021, Motley was accused of by an Afghan couple for allegedly assisting US Marine Joshua Mast in the alleged abduction of an Afghan child, Motley has vehemently denied the claims and is suing the couple. [21][22]

In July 28, 2021 Wisconsin Judge Glenn Yamahiro found probable cause to charge Officer Joseph Mensah for the shooting and killing of Jay Anderson, Jr. on June 23, 2016.[23][24][25] The Anderson family is said to have used an obscure John Doe law option.[23][26] Joseph Mensah is an officer who killed three males of color in less than five years time and the department found significant training issues.[27][28]

A documentary about Motley's husband shooting entitled, When Claude Got Shot, won an Exceptional Merit in Documentary Filmmaking Emmy in September 2022. [29]

In May 8, 2023 Motley represented dozens of protestors in federal court alleged to have been targeted by police in the creation of a target list for their part in the 2020 George Floyd protests.[30][31][32]
