*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.

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

UPCOMING CLINIC:

Saturday May 20, 2017

8:00am- 12:00pm

AMHA Reach Opportunity Center

Akron, Ohio

All hours qualify as ProBono Limited Means.

There will be a mandatory training session.  We will schedule the training the week of May 15-19 once we receive feedback from volunteers.  Please indicate your availability for training in the email.  The training will last 45-60 minutes.  Interested students or questions please RSVP to Professor Heather Staab at hstaab@uakron.edu.
