*Expungement Clinic Seeking Student Volunteers*

The Expungement Clinic helps low-income Summit County residents seal the record of their criminal convictions. A sealed record enables many people better access to jobs, housing, and volunteer opportunities. Students will learn integral skills in the legal field including filing paperwork with the court, drafting motions, interviewing real clients, and communicating with clients both through the mail and over the phone. Students who are eligible for a legal intern certificate will have ample opportunities to appear in court and present an oral argument.

A student commitment to the Expungement Clinic can be for as few or as many hours as the student pleases. We do ask that you commit to at least one of our upcoming Saturday Outreach Clinics so we know how many volunteers we will have at each clinic.

UPCOMING CLINICS:
(1) Saturday September 10, 2016 (2) Saturday October 29, 2016 (3) Saturday November 12, 2016
8:00am-12:00pm 8:00am-12:00pm 8:00am-12:00pm

All hours qualify as Pro Bono Limited Means.

There will be a training session on Friday September 9 at 12:30pm in Room 410 Quaker Sqaure. If you are unable to attend the training, please indicate that in the email.
Interested students or questions please RSVP to Heather Staab at hstaab@uakron.edu.
