This session will provide both legal education and a practical look at how technology can improve access tojustice by helping legal service providers scale record learing statewide:
1. Substantive Law – An overview of Texas expunction law, including common eligibility issues and practical considerations when screening cases. 2. Collaborative Efforts – How legal aid organizations, pro bono attorneys, and community partners work together through the SEP to expand access to record-clearing services. 3. Technology and Automation - An introduction to the automated expunction screening and document generation tool used by our project. We have hired a software vendor and anticipate new developments that we hope to demonstrate at the conference.
