Expungement is the legal process of erasing a cases or arrests from a person’s background, so that they do not come up on future background checks or negatively impact future education, employment, and housing opportunities. In this session, I will provide a brief overview of expungement's processes, eligibility requirements, and importance. I will also describe how staff can help students connect to free juvenile record expungement resources with Legal Aid Chicago. (Please note I can do a 30 minute or a 50 minute presentation, depending on preference!)
