PRO BONO LIMITED MEANS OPPORTUNITY

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, 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.     Please keep in mind we can only accept a limited amount of students for each clinic.
