*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 record searches, reading court dockets, completing applications to file with the court, and interviewing real clients.
UPCOMING CLINIC:

Saturday, February 16, 2019
9 a.m. to noon
The Chapel

There will be a mandatory training session on Friday, February 15, 2019 from 4:30-5:30pm in the Law School Room 301. (You may need to attend training if you have not been trained in the recent changes in Ohio’s expungement law).  You will need a laptop for training and the Clinic.
