Human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin is getting a lot of attention these days. First, because of her rumored pregnancy. Second, critics are questioning why she is receiving some honors these days compared to when she was not yet married to celebrated Hollywood star George Clooney.

Last week, Amal Alamuddin was honored at a Women of Impact dinner where she was among the ladies who were awarded. While some praised her for doing her job well, others seem to be unhappy about the attention that the human rights advocate is getting these days. She is gaining more and more popularity but not everyone believes that she could have done it without George Clooney.

A report by The Daily Mail points out that Amal Alamuddin was a beautiful and "clever" attorney before she crossed paths with the Academy and Golden Globes winner. However, she was reportedly someone who was not popular outside of the legal world that she revolved in. The outlet also notes that there could have been other ladies who received the Woman of Impact award but would not claim the award because they don't hang around Hollywood A-listers.

Ever since Amal Alamuddin tied the knot with the "ER" star, all eyes started gazing through the beautiful and smart lawyer. However, TIME Magazine noted in a brilliantly detailed article that Amal is simply doing her job. The reliable magazine added that the world shouldn't be very obsessed with someone who is doing what she has to do and just because she is married to a quite popular celebrity.

The Huffington Post also wrote an article detailing Amal Alamuddin's history of cases handled. According to the outlet, she has an impressive career history as she has served under the International Court of Justice. However, she also defended some "questionable" individuals including Abdullah al Senussi, King of Bahrain.

The two big outlets appear to be pointing out that the buzz and attention George Clooney's wife gets is something abnormal for normal human rights lawyers. Just like other attorneys in the same field, Amal has had both good and bad guys as clients. This makes her a typical advocate who just happens to be fabulous, fashionable, and married to an A-lister.

Meanwhile, fans are also holding early celebrations for the purported pregnancy of Amal Alamuddin. According to U.S. Weekly, the pregnancy rumors first sparked when the couple attended a Netflix documentary screening on January 9. The famous couple have yet to confirm or deny the speculations that they are expecting.
