Under Missouri’s existing expungement laws, tens of thousands of people are eligible to have their records expunged, yet research shows that only about 1% are actually successful in obtaining expungement. This is due to a costly, burdensome petition-based process that prevents the vast majority of eligible individuals from ever obtaining relief and moving forward with their lives. Everyone who qualifies for expungement should get the clean slate they’ve earned—regardless of whether they can afford a lawyer and expensive court fees or have the knowledge to navigate a complex court process. Learn more about Clean Slate legislation and how it would benefit our state here: MOcleanslate.org/about Image description: a teal Clean Slate graphic with "10 states have already passed Clean Slate legislation: Pennsylvania, Utah, New Jersey, Michigan, Connecticut, Delaware, Virginia, Oklahoma, Colorado, California" with "Missouri?" as a next step and the logo "A Campaign by Empower Missouri" #MOcleanslate #AutomatedExpungement #Missouri #Advocacy

This Law360 article poses interesting questions about how we discuss access to justice. Daria Fisher Page and Brian Farrell note, "Rural access to justice challenges and the rural attorney decline have become conflated and viewed as a single crisis in which the declining number of attorneys is understood to be the cause of the rural access to justice problem, and recruiting new attorneys is, therefore, the preferred solution." I'd love to hear your thoughts on how you view access to justice and the challenges rural communities face.
