Founded in 2019, the CORI Sealing and Expungement Clinic offers people who have Massachusetts-based criminal records (CORI) the opportunity to seal or expunge their records with free assistance from volunteer lawyers. CORI Clinics are hosted virtually. There is no income cap for CORI Clinics. We cannot assist with records from states outside of Massachusetts.

Community Legal Aid’s CORI/Re-entry work focuses on helping people with criminal records overcome barriers to housing, employment, and other opportunities. Our attorneys provide representation in CORI sealing and expungement cases, criminal record-related denials of public and subsidized housing, and employment or educational/job training program denials due to a criminal record. The criminalization of poverty, substance use, and mental illness result in a cycle of incarceration and other forms of state supervision that are incredibly destructive for families and communities. The CORI unit is dedicated to combatting the civil consequences of the criminal court system.
To help reduce barriers to employment, housing, and education, the CSJ offers free legal help to community members who are eligible to seal and/or expunge their Massachusetts Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI). With the help of students and volunteers, the CSJ provides free legal services to the community through its pro bono programs.
