Friday, April 5
Training: 10:30-11:30 a.m.
Pizza Party: 11:30 a.m.-12 p.m.
Clinic: 12-4 p.m.
Join members of the YLS at PCC Legal Resource Center/CLEAR Clinic for a criminal record expungement or eviction expungement training and volunteer session. Volunteers will be split into two groups - one for criminal record expungements and one for eviction expungements - to receive training from PCC CLEAR staff and then to volunteer with PCC CLEAR clients.
Eviction expungements have been available in Oregon since 2020, and help people realize their right to housing by preventing improper consideration of past evictions in residential-tenancy decisions.
Criminal record expungements help people realize various rights following a criminal conviction. Criminal records can haunt you for life - even a minor record can interfere with housing, employment and educational opportunities, and cause other collateral issues.
If you’d like to learn more about Oregon expungement law before the event, a free Oregon Expungement Training put on by Leni Tupper and Emilie Junge of the PCC CLEAR Clinic is available at www.bit.ly/clear-expungement (approved for 1.00 Access to Justice OSB MCLE credit, Program ID 85141). Trainings for both eviction and criminal record expungements will also be provided at the event.
