Welcome | Criminal Justice and Employment Initiative

The Criminal Justice and Employment Initiative website, hosted by Cornell University's ILR School, offers resources and tools to help individuals understand and manage their criminal records. It features a comprehensive online toolkit that includes information on obtaining and interpreting RAP sheets, common errors, and the processes for sealing or expunging criminal records. The site also addresses legal rights related to criminal records, including federal and state laws, and provides guidance on remedies such as certificates and pardons. It aims to assist individuals impacted by criminal histories in navigating the complexities of their records and improving their employment opportunities.
