A brief understanding of pardons, clemency, expungement and sealing:

• In Illinois, the law allows certain crimes to be expunged (destroyed) or sealed from public view. The process is completed through the court and the judge.
• All states allow a person to seek a pardon/clemency. It a formal request for forgiveness of a crime (usually a felony) that the law does not allow to be expunged or sealed. The request is submitted in the form of a very detailed, written petition, and sent to the governor, the President, and/or an advisory board. It requires convincing documentation that you are a good candidate for a pardon. (Please visit our blog for more information.)
