This month’s program will explain the law on expungement\, describe the process for clearing a survivor’s criminal history\, detail the effects of expungement on a survivor’s life\, and dispel myths and misconceptions regarding expungement. If you are a professional or community member who is in actual or potential contact with sex and labor trafficking survivors\, you need to know about expungement. \nPresenters: Brent Woody\, Lead Attorney/Executive Director\, Justice Restoration Center; and Rebecca Zoeller\, Staff Attorney\, Legal Services of North Florida. \nNOTE: The Florida Bar has approved this program for 1 hour of basic CLE credit. \nSponsors: STAC in affiliation with Big Bend Coalition Against Human Trafficking\, the International Rescue Committee and Legal Services of North Florida.\nContact for questions: STAC at stac@surviveandthriveadvocacy.org or 850-597-2080 \nAUDIO will be provided through your computer. \nAttendance will be limited to the first 1\,000 people who join this event.
