First, there will be a panel discussion featuring admissions staff from all the law schools on 1) navigating law school application components; 2) why law in the DMV; and 3) advice for underclassmen. 

Then, each school will have a separate drop-in Zoom room where you can ask all of your burning questions to the admissions staff. 

Date: Tuesday, Oct. 8 

This presentation will explore how state and federal policies have contributed to the crisis of mass incarceration, and how social justice reforms, such as expanded access to criminal record expungement, are empowering individuals affected by the criminal justice system. By examining the impact of criminal records on economic and social opportunities, we will discuss how expungement is opening doors to employment, housing, and education for those seeking a fresh start.

This presentation is being held in preparation for the UMBC Expungement Clinic on October 17.
