I have served my time, can I expunge my record? A commonly asked question by those with criminal records. A question that people also tend to not know how to answer. In this episode, VanKe'via and J.J Prescott delve into a conversation on the power of a clean slate. J.J. Prescott is the Henry King Ransom Professor of Law at the University of Michigan. His research interests revolve around criminal law, sentencing law and reform, employment law, and the dynamics of civil litigation.
