Human Trafficking Law and Policy (2014). This casebook brings together the key case law, legislation, and scholarship that comprise domestic and international human trafficking law and its policy context. It contains the criminal justice, civil rights, international law, immigration, and supply chain transparency and federal contracting regulatory environment that frame human trafficking law and policy.
For the first time, law professors and other teachers have a book that provides the framework and content for a full semester course. The book’s “notes and questions” included with each chapter assist professors to lead thought-provoking and lively in-class discussions. Human Trafficking Law and Policy will be of interest to both experienced attorneys and the next generation of lawyers alike looking for an introduction to understanding and addressing modern slavery.
Our casebook is being used to teach courses on human trafficking at the University of Michigan Law School, University of Minnesota Law School, University of Kansas School of Law, Indiana University School of Law, University of Wisconsin Law School and other fine law schools. Interested professors and lawyers can purchase the casebook from LexisNexis and the Carolina Academic Press.
