Does Clooney's wife have a seat filler next to her?

Um, she's super accomplished.
Clooney worked at Sullivan & Cromwell in New York City for three years as part of the Criminal Defense and Investigations Group, which included the criminal probe of Enron and Arthur Andersen.[16][19]

She worked in the Office of the Prosecutor at the UN Special Tribunal for Lebanon and at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.[23] She has been involved in high-profile cases representing the state of Cambodia, the former Libyan intelligence chief Abdallah Al Senussi, Yulia Tymoshenko and Julian Assange, and is an adviser to the King of Bahrain in connection with the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry headed by Professor M. Cherif Bassiouni.[19]

Clooney returned to the UK in 2010,[24] where she is a barrister in London (Bar of England & Wales, Inner Temple) at Doughty Street Chambers.[16]

In 2013 Clooney was appointed to a number of United Nations commissions including as adviser to Special Envoy Kofi Annan on Syria and as Counsel to the 2013 Drone Inquiry by UN human rights rapporteur Ben Emmerson QC into the use of drones in counter-terrorism operations.[20][25][26]

In May 2014 Clooney met with the British Foreign Secretary William Hague and a group of leading female campaigners "to discuss how to drive forward international action to protect children in conflict zones from rape and sexual violence" before the June 2014 Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict, held in London as part of the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative, which was launched by Hague in 2012, aiming to strengthen international efforts to respond to sexual violence in conflict zones. Clooney is a member of the multidisciplinary Team of Experts established on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.[27]

In August 2014 Clooney was selected for the UN's three-member commission to look into possible violations of the rules of war in the Gaza Strip during the Israel–Gaza conflict. Clooney was unable to accept the position, stating that "There are various reports published today stating that I have been appointed as one of three members of the UN Commission of Inquiry for Gaza. I am horrified by the situation in the occupied Gaza Strip, particularly the civilian casualties that have been caused, and strongly believe that there should be an independent investigation and accountability for crimes that have been committed."[28]
