Lakeshore Legal Aid is hosting three Expungement Clinic to be held at Dearborn and Southfield Offices, and we need attorney volunteers to meet with clients and assist in reviewing ICHATS and possibly drafting expungement applications.

We would also like the volunteers to explain the expungement process. If you feel so moved and want to accept the case for direct representation, we can ensure you have all you need to leave the clinic that day ready to represent the client fully. Or you can just commit to the clinic. Please visit our Paladin website to express interest in this clinic and volunteer. Feel free to also look at the other opportunities we have listed. We will Provide training prior to the Clinic if needed!
