Clean up your ‘record’ Oct. 29 at ‘expungement clinic’
The Anderson County Bar Association, the Oak Ridge-Anderson County NAACP, and the League of Women Voters are hosting a free “expungement clinic.”
The event is scheduled from 9-11:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 29, at the Oak Ridge General Sessions Courthouse, 728 Emory Valley Rd., Oak Ridge.
An expungement is a court order removing an eligible criminal charge from a person’s record.
The event is free and no pre-registration is required.
Make sure to bring a photo ID and any court documents for expungements. Volunteers will be completing court orders and other forms to remove eligible dismissed and “No True Bill” charges from public records.
Volunteers will also provide information on how to expunge qualifying convictions.
Due to legal requirements, the event can only serve people with charges in Anderson County.
Volunteers held similar events in the past in Clinton and Oak Ridge.
Since holding the events, volunteers have helped hundreds of Anderson County citizens remove eligible charges from their public records.
