Big news for SLO County residents seeking a fresh start. The SLO Clean Slate Clinic is moving to a rolling quarterly model, giving community members four chances a year to sign up for free help with record expungement, felony reduction, and arrest record sealing.
San Luis Obispo College of Law is proud to be a long-time partner in this effort.
"As a community-based law school, San Luis Obispo College of Law aims to cultivate graduates who are committed to community service. Our students appreciate the opportunity to help vulnerable members of our community improve their housing and employment prospects and we are proud to be part of this important effort." Campus Dean Erica Flores Baltodano
