Panelists will include human trafficking survivor and activist, Nikki Bell, as well as three Mintz attorneys with experience representing survivors on a pro bono basis under the new statute. This program will be informative for lawyers and non-lawyers who work with human trafficking survivors, as well as those whose work involves post-conviction relief.
