Polaris Project launched its legal service program in October 2006 to provide in-house legal services to victims of human trafficking.  Polaris Project also refers cases to a Legal Referral Network of pro bono attorneys who have volunteered their valuable time to serve survivors of human trafficking.

Pro bono attorneys can provide much-needed legal support to survivors of human trafficking and to the anti-trafficking field in the following areas:

• Civil Law
• Immigration Law
• Criminal Law
• Juvenile Justice
• Family Law
• Policy Research and Analysis
• Organizational Legal Issues
