Criminal records sealing alert for advocates

MassLegalServices.org has posted the latest alert for advocates of clients with CORI records. The alert, along with their recent appellate case of Commonwealth v. Pon has changed the landscape for sealing criminal records. Under the new standard, people only have to show "good cause" to seal their records.
For the pro se wishing to go through the process on their own, MassLegalServices has a helpful page with the latest updates as well.
