  In the first half year of operation the satellite borne POLAR instrument
detected a total of 55 Gamma-Ray Bursts about 10 of which were bright enough to
allow for detailed polarization studies, thereby forming the start of the first
Gamma-Ray Burst polarization catalog. In this paper a brief overview of the
previous GRB polarization studies will be presented followed by an overview of
the POLAR detector along with the first result of the in-flight performance.
The detected Gamma-Ray bursts will be presented and finally prospects for
polarization measurements of these events will be discussed.
