Don't Let That Record Follow You Forever
About this Event
A criminal record can affect more than your past. It may create barriers to employment, housing, education, licensing, and other opportunities. But depending on what is on your North Carolina record and your individual circumstances, you may have options worth exploring.
Join Shaunté Anderson, Legal Literacy Strategist & Educator, for an interactive GO LEGAL™ Workshop designed to help everyday people better understand North Carolina expunctions and where to begin.
This is not a stuffy legal seminar. We're breaking the information down in plain language so you can understand the process, ask better questions, and identify reliable resources.
What We'll Cover
You'll learn about:
- What an expunction is and what it does
- The difference between dismissed charges and convictions
- Types of North Carolina records that may potentially qualify for expunction
- Why eligibility depends on your individual record and circumstances
- Waiting periods and other factors that can affect eligibility
- How to obtain and review your criminal record
- Forms, court resources, and the general expunction process
- Common misconceptions about “clearing” a criminal record
- What to do when you're unsure whether you qualify
- Resources for getting additional assistance
You'll also have an opportunity to ask general legal literacy questions during the workshop.
