LASP Staff Attorney Deborah Steeves will present information about record-clearing. Pennsylvania’s Clean Slate law allows certain criminal cases to be sealed – taken out of public view – so they cannot be used as barriers to employment, housing, etc. She will discuss:
How to find out what is on your record in Pennsylvania (http://ujsportal.pacourts.us/DocketSheets/MDJ.aspx).
Whether or not your record can be expunged or sealed.
How to get help clearing your record.
