Amos attended McMaster University, earning a Bachelor of Arts and Science and a Master of Arts degree from the University of British Columbia. Amos worked in the Prime Minister's Office under Jean Chrétien.
Amos earned his law degree from McGill University's civil/common law program in 2004. Amos was called to the bar in both Ontario and Quebec, worked for a large Montreal law firm, and advised former Environment Minister David Anderson on issues related to species at risk.
By 2007, Amos was a lawyer for Ecojustice Canada, an environmental law charity which had partnered with the University of Ottawa Faculty of Law to create the uOttawa-Ecojustice Environmental Law Clinic, which provided legal advice to individuals and community groups involved in environmental law cases. During his time at the environmental law clinic, Amos collaborated as an author on four books, three of which were about the mining industry in Quebec, and one on holding the Canadian government accountable for environmental enforcement. Amos was a part-time professor and staff lawyer at the University of Ottawa before being promoted to director of the uOttawa-Ecojustice Environmental Law Clinic in August 2010.
