Important Legal Working Group updates - starting February 4, 2026!
We're restructuring our Legal Working Group calls to enhance our technical assistance and ensure everyone gets the most out of these sessions.
New monthly call structure:
- 1st Wednesday: Trafficking analysis questions only
- 3rd Wednesday: Trauma-informed/non-legal topics only
- All other calls: General legal questions
Requirements to submit a trafficking analysis question for a 1st Wednesday call:
- You must have completed Human Trafficking Defined (including passing the quiz) OR an EMP Analysis Workshop. This ensures everyone has the foundational framework for us to effectively walk through the analysis. Any legal practitioner is welcome to attend and listen to the analysis during a 1st Wednesday call, however!
- If you've completed an EMP worksheet for the case, we'll prioritize your question when we receive multiple submissions.
