Atlanta job fair offers chance to clear your criminal record on Saturday
Atlanta and Fulton County leaders are offering the chance to clear your record at the Record Restriction (Expungement) Job and Resource Fair this Saturday. Even a minor or dismissed charge can create big troubles down the road when it comes to job seeking, securing housing, or being denied educational or financial aid opportunities. At the event at the C.T. Martin Recreation Center on Saturday, from 10 a.m. to noon, you can get an opportunity to see what's on your record and get advice on what can be removed. An expungement is the legal process of restricting eligible records on a person's official criminal history report from public view and makes them visible only to law enforcement for criminal justice purposes. A person is eligible to have their record expunged if they were arrested in a Fulton County jurisdiction, committed certain misdemeanors under the age of 21, or is a 'youthful offender' who has completed a pre-trial intervention/diversion program. According to the Fulton County government, 'The record will not be expunged if the prosecution decided not to prosecute a criminal case (nolle prossed), the case was dead docketed or otherwise dismissed because: did not plead guilty/nolo contendere or convicted/found guilty at trial.'
