Human trafficking is the reprehensible practice of physically or psychologically compelling an individual to work or provide commercial sexual services. An estimated 27.6 million people are held against their will in either commercial sex or forced labor around the world, yet fewer than one percent of these individuals ever identified. Attorneys have the much-needed skills, clientele, and positions to help shrink this alarming gap, by integrating identification, services and prevention strategies into their respective practices.

Freedom for All: An Attorney's Guide to Fighting Human Trafficking, Second Edition demonstrates to attorneys across multiple practice areas how human trafficking intersects with their daily practice, how their skills translate, and how they can easily begin to integrate anti-trafficking into their work. It is as much a practical introduction to any student or practicing attorney as it is a lay of the land of current anti-trafficking legal efforts. The book also highlights the important contributions of numerous attorneys and exciting nascent developments.

Whether criminal, corporate, employment, immigration, international or public interest, now is the moment to develop areas of the law, employ creative arguments and thinking, and implement new policies and programs. Efforts at all levels are sorely needed to increase identification, services and prevention - to make a true difference in the lives of trafficked persons. If you have ever asked yourself "What can I do?" Freedom for All: An Attorney's Guide to Fighting Human Trafficking, Second Edition gives you the answer.

For more than two decades, Kelly Hyland, JD has served in government and nongovernment positions working on human trafficking through training, policy, state and federal legislation, and legal representation. She currently serves within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as a legal advisor on human trafficking, victim assistance, and victim-based immigration benefits. Formerly, she co-founded a nonprofit organization that trained government, nonprofit, and Fortune 500 professionals to identify and prevent human trafficking. As senior counsel in the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons at the U.S. Department of State, she led interagency coordination and advised on immigration, law enforcement, workers’ rights, victim protections, diplomatic immunity, social services, and U.S. implementation efforts. Most importantly, and what has led to all of her subsequent work, in her first position as a new attorney, she assisted more than two hundred trafficked persons. She has published extensively. Kelly is a graduate of the Washington College of Law at American University and Allegheny College. She is a member of the State Bar of California.
