6th Annual Expungement Clinic and Resource Fair

Description

During the 6th Annual Expungement Clinic and Resource Fair, Johns Hopkins University partners with Maryland Legal Aid, The Alliance of Black Women Attorneys, Monumental City Bar Association, and the University of Baltimore Law School to ensure enough volunteer attorneys are available to help individuals remove charges from their public records and to open doors to new opportunities. The volunteers can answer questions and provide free legal advice around:

• Expungement eligibility
• Removal of expungable offenses
• Processing expungement paperwork

The Spring Expungement Clinic and Resource Fair is part of Fox 45's B'More Healthy Expo at the Baltimore Convention Center.

In addition to legal advice and expungement support, attendees will have the opportunity to apply for jobs, explore housing opportunities, and learn about services available to veterans. On-site resources include:
