Expungement Clinics Offer Hope and Fresh Start Disrupting the Poverty Cycle
ALSC Pro Bono team sets the tone for summertime by jumping headfirst into the expungement pool. We pulled together several events throughout our service area to address expungement needs, starting with small pre-registered clinics and ending with full-scale “resource fairs” partnering with Goodwill, American Job Center, Louisiana Workforce Commission, Department of Public Safety and Corrections, and The Coordinating and Development Corporation. “The main benefit of these events is access to legal professionals that will help walk an individual through the items needed to clean a criminal record for better opportunities,” says Gregory Hopkins, Pro Bono Manager.
