CORI Matters -- Learn How to Help Clients Seal Criminal Records
For those with a criminal record, the information contained in their Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) can be a real roadblock to getting jobs, housing and access to other opportunities.
The Massachusetts Bar Association, University of Massachusetts School of Law and the Bristol County Bar Association are collaborating with Greater Boston Legal Services to recruit attorneys to help clients from low-income communities seal their records and break the cycle of poverty and unemployment. The project seeks volunteers to represent a pro bono client in their region of the state court and/or provide limited assistance representation.
Attorneys of all backgrounds are encouraged to volunteer to take a case. A case typically takes less than 25 hours.
