Why do this work? Pro bono hours Not really complicated Helping single parents obtain employment for their kids Helping people obtain housing You get to meet some of the most resilient people Get to dip your toe into litigation Get to appear in court Something totally different from the law you practice Work with people from all backgrounds Making it so someone can get that promotion they deserve<br>
06
Why do we need criminal expungement? Societal exclusion due to criminal history
Employment: Any record, even arrest, can impact hiring decision
Housing: Scarcity of affordable housing means landlords can be picky about who to rent to
Other areas of life:
Coaching, volunteering at kids’ school, community service, visiting incarcerated family members or family members on military bases, etc.
Systemic racism in the criminal justice system
Keeps people in poverty
Expungement is the means to help people overcome these barriers despite past mistakes or lifestyles<br>

Expungement! What does it do? Can seal all records...
(will not come up in background checks, licensing, etc.)
...Or it can seal only judicial records
(basically, only the public can't see it)
Sealing does not equal destroying!
There are situations where an expunged case can be seen/used<br>

Expunged records can be viewed and shared among “criminal justice agencies” when investigating or prosecuting a crime
Records can be used by law enforcement agencies against applicants for employment in the agencies Here are those situations...<br>

Types of Expungement 1. Arrest-only expungement*
Only requires a letter sent to the BCA
2. Statutory Expungement – Minn. Stat. 609A*
Seals all records, case will no longer come up on background checks
3. Inherent authority*: usually not very helpful
Judge uses power over court system to seal only court records
Record is still on background checks, but client will have court order
Crimes not enumerated in statute
4. Prosecutor-Agreed/Led Expungements (Help Seal My Record Programs)
Prosecution Stipulates to the expungement
5. Automatic Expungements
Under the Adult Cannabis Use Act
Under the Clean Slate Act, 609A.015

Inherent Authority No waiting period after someone gets off probation
Once the case is closed, you can file a petition as soon as you want
Quite difficult to expunge
Courts generally want to see a long chunk of crime free time
Not very helpful to a person<br>

How do you help someone do it?<br>
16
Full Representation Overview First: sign up as a volunteer with VLN!
10-15 hours estimated for 1 case, spread over 6-8 months
About 5 additional hours per case you take on
Paralegals or other admins can take this training. They are especially helpful during service and filing.
Costs?
Volunteers usually cover cost of obtaining records and service (printing and mailing)
These clients are indigent – any cost is a barrier to them
If you are footing the bill, note this can add up to over $100 – VLN can help!
If you are not willing to do this, you'll need to discuss it with the client when signing the representation agreement.
Filing fees: Client must pay if the fee waiver is denied<br>

Full Representation Cont. Second: take a case!
Let us know when you’re ready to take on a case and we can give you some options
Keep an eye out for our case paneling emails where we highlight clients needing a volunteer attorney to take on their case
We will then email you:
Client contact information
Their criminal records
What case records to expunge and what type of expungement it is
It will be either statutory or inherent authority (same process)
We will also send information on how to read criminal records
Third: Meet the client
Complete a representation agreement with the client and send it to VLN
Interview client and begin the process (phone, zoom, in person)
Gather information on why client is seeking expungement, and what steps they have taken to rehabilitate themselves<br>

18
Full Representation cont. Fourth: work on filling out the petition
This is the actual "motion" or "affidavit"
We use a system called "hot docs" which generates all pleadings (including the petition) for you – you just need to answer the questions/prompts.
https://lawhelpinteractive.org/Interview/GenerateInterview/4681/engine
The Current Version of hot docs uses old forms. We are in the process of updating this program.
Each case being expunged gets its own set of pleadings
Current forms can be accessed on the Minnesota Judicial Webpage:
https://www.mncourts.gov/GetForms.aspx?c=14&f=207.
Please give regular updates on the status of the case. Katherine Johnson will send out periodic emails requesting updates.
The clipped sections of forms used in this PowerPoint are from the current forms on the Minnesota Judicial Website. If you’re using hot docs, the numbers for questions may be different<br>

Hardship and Rehabilitation Hardship: First part of the burden!
Why do they need an expungement: must be more than reputation
Be specific
"denied jobs" vs. "denied three jobs including one at Target."
Not a time to be proud!
Rehabilitation: Second part of the burden!
What have they done since the conviction to turn their lives around: more than what they did on probation
Be specific and creative!
"Addressed mental health" vs. "began therapy in x year and successfully graduated from a six-month program"<br>

Question 6: This part 1 of the "burden of proof"
Petitioner must demonstrate that the hardship they face due to their criminal record outweighs any risk to persons or the community (use first person!)
You want to be specific in this question
You want to try and provide the Court supporting documentation if possible
Why do you want an expungement?
In your words, describe how the records are causing you problems - employment, housing, volunteering, etc<br>

Dismissals: BCA
The petitioner must disclose prior AND concurrent expungement requests<br>
