An often overlooked part of the continuum of care for trafficked persons is meeting their legal needs. Best practices in providing trauma-informed legal services is an emerging field that can be a meaningful resource. A panel of lawyers from four organizations that provide pro bono legal representation to trafficked persons will discuss topics including: trauma-informed legal representation, the distinctive needs and range of legal issues of trafficked persons, creating a collaborative network of attorneys across a range of legal specialties, partnering with other service-providers and entities that intersect with trafficked persons, creating an advisory board with representative populations, and how to offer legal services or open a human trafficking legal clinic in your community.
