Amber Marks

Amber Marks

Amber Marks is a British barrister and author. After working as a lawyer in private practice and in the UK government legal service, she took up research on the increasing use of sniffer dogs and other olfactory surveillance methods. She has written an account of her research for the popular market, "Headspace" (published 2008); in connection with this publication, articles by or about her were published by some of the major English newspapers. She is now working on an academic account for a PhD degree of King's College London.

Marks's father is the campaigner for the legalization of cannabis, Howard Marks, and her mother is Judy Marks.
