Hi if you or someone you know has an juvenile criminal record, which can be a barrier to getting jobs, housing or education, Street Youth Legal Advocates of Washington (SYLAW) is restarting their Juvenile Record Sealing Clinics, next Wednesday evening November 3rd. The Clinics are FREE and anyone may attend to find out if they are eligible to seal their juvenile records (i.e. offenses that were charged before the person turned 18), and get assistance with the paperwork and court filings.
There is no age limit and no income cut off for these clinics.
Juvenile records in Washington are available to the public and unsealed juvenile records can prevent people from getting jobs and housing and from pursuing some education opportunities.
The Juvenile Record Sealing Clinics are at SCRAP (Society of Council Representing Accused Persons) at 1401 East Jefferson, Suite 200, in Seattle.
The first clinic is on Wed. November 3 from 6-8pm. If you can’t make it next Wednesday evening, there are clinics on the first Wednesday of every month through May 2011 at the same place and time, that’s 1401 E Jefferson from 6 to 8.
Call 206-659-5029 or email info@sylaw.org with any questions.
