Bridgette Carr

Bridgette Carr is a Professor of Law at the University of Michigan Law School. In 2009, she founded Michigan Law’s Human Trafficking Clinic—the first program of its kind in the United States to provide comprehensive legal representation to survivors of human trafficking—and has since helped, together with her students, to represent hundreds of victims, both American and foreign nationals. Building on this model, she has also helped establish specialized anti-trafficking legal clinics in Mexico, Ethiopia, and Brazil, creating an international network of experts. She has served as a consultant to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). Her distinctions include the State Bar of Michigan’s Champion of Justice Award (2014), as well as a Marshall Memorial Fellowship (2008) to study trafficking issues in Europe.
