Join us for a comprehensive program dedicated to the practice and advancement of expungement law in New Jersey. Whether you are new to expungement work or an experienced advocate looking to deepen your impact, the New Jersey Expungement Summit offers practical and inspiring programming for attorneys at every stage of their practice.
The Summit features an in-depth foundational session for practitioners new to expungement, covering petitioner eligibility, gathering records, and navigating both the e-filing and paper filing processes. A panel of seasoned practitioners and leading advocates will explore the evolving legal landscape and the ongoing effort to expand expungement eligibility and strengthen the rights of individuals seeking relief following involvement in New Jersey's criminal justice system. The program also explores the impact of pro bono expungement work, featuring firsthand accounts from attorneys doing the work, illustrating the difference this practice makes for clients and communities alike.
This program will leave attendees equipped with the knowledge and practical skills to hit the ground running and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those seeking a second chance. Be sure to join us in person for lunch and an opportunity to connect with your colleagues!
