Rising for Justice Expungement

The Expungement Eligibility Guide app is a brand new project being created with Rising For Justice. RFJ is a DC organization that runs legal clinics where residents can get help having their criminal records expunged. This repository has the source code for a complex web form. The form encodes logic developed by Rising for Justice to help pro bono lawyers evaluate whether their client is eligible to have their criminal record expunged.

Discalaimer

This is not a self service tool. rfj_expungement is being developed in conjunction with The Rising for Justice organization and is meant to be used within Washington DC. Please talk to your lawyer for any legal advice.

For Clinics

You are free to use this code for your needs as stated in our license. Please remember that this application is made to be used in Washington DC. You will need to modify it to fit your needs in your jurisdiction.
