Description

Did you know that about 1 in 3 U.S. adults, some 70 million people, have a criminal record, including those who were arrested but not convicted? This record can keep individuals from receiving jobs, homes, and educational opportunities. In law, “expungement” is the process by which a record of criminal conviction is destroyed or sealed from state or federal records. Building Black Leaders in Connection with South Carolina Legal Services is hosting Expunging Your Past: An Expungement and Pardon Guide for South Carolina Residents. During this event we will cover the difference between an expungement and a pardon, how to find out if you are eligible, steps to create a successful application, how to qualify for SC Legal Services assistance, and even apply for financial help through Building Black Leaders Grants.
