Interested residents will be invited to apply to attend upcoming virtual clinics, which  pair participants with volunteer lawyers, provided by Lawyers Clearinghouse, who can review an individual’s legal options for sealing or expunging a CORI. If a participant’s record is found to be eligible for sealing or expungement, the lawyers will provide full legal representation throughout the process. Any costs for legal filings will be covered, as well.
