NLADA Pre-Conference Session
NLADA and the Community Legal Services of Philadelphia are teaming up to present the "Creating Opportunity through Criminal Record-Clearing" pre-conference session. Do not pass up this great opportunity to learn about establishing and growing a record expungement/sealing practice.
Wednesday, May 9 | 8:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Record clearing, through expungement, sealing, and other legal remedies, is a perfect fit for pro bono initiatives as well as law school clinics, civil legal aid programs, and defender programs. Representation is usually brief and time limited, and the cases are relatively easy. The demand for these legal services is overwhelming, as an estimated one out of three American adults has a criminal record, many of which are eligible for clearing. And the benefits to the clients are great. An expunged or sealed record removes an intractable barrier to employment, housing, and education. These life-changing results and overjoyed clients make record-clearing practice extremely satisfying for lawyers. This preconference will address issues common across the 50 states in establishing and growing an expungement/sealing practice. This full day training session is $100 for NLADA members and $125 for non-members (*registration includes breakfast and lunch*).
