A criminal record can make it harder to get a job or find housing. However, a CORI record may contain charges that can be “sealed” or expunged so that employers or housing providers cannot see those charges. UMASS Dartmouth Law representatives will provide you with the steps it takes to help you get a copy of your CORI, understand what’s on your CORI, and seal or expunge your CORI if possible.
