Campbell’s research and teaching interests focus on human trafficking, immigration, domestic violence, and criminal law. Through direct representation, public scholarship, and community engagement, she advances legal strategies to support vulnerable communities and reshape systems responding to forced labor and gender-based violence.
Campbell has supervised hundreds of law students and provided free legal services to victims since 2011, supporting the wide-ranging needs of men, women, and children, both foreign nationals and US citizens, who have been victimized by forced labor. She spearheaded a pilot project in partnership with Washtenaw County aimed at better responding to victims of human trafficking who are arrested or charged with prostitution and related offenses.
Under Campbell’s leadership, the Human Trafficking and Immigration Clinic has received nearly $2 million in funding from the US Department of Justice to better understand and provide services to individuals who have experienced human trafficking and domestic violence or sexual assault.
Campbell regularly trains attorneys, law enforcement, medical professionals, and social services providers on assessing and identifying victims of human trafficking, as well as best practices in providing comprehensive legal services to victims. She has appeared as a human trafficking expert on a variety of cases across the country, served on multiple State of Michigan committees, and advised federal legislators.
She is a member of the Executive Board of the Michigan Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence.
