Barriers to gainful employment and safe housing face many North Carolina residents who have had contact with the criminal justice system. Approximately one in five North Carolinians have a criminal record, including dismissed charges which remain on an individual’s record unless eligible for expungement. Greensboro Bar Association's signature pro bono initiative is set to kick-off in October 2015. Bar members will assist Legal Aid clients currently living in low-income households who are eligible for an expunction and/or Certificate of Relief in Guilford County.
