Overview of Reentry Legal Services  [01:18:15]

Reentry legal services encompass a range of strategies to reduce the legal barriers faced by people as they reintegrate into society following an arrest or conviction. This introductory section of the training will provide an overview of California law regarding the types of sentences imposed after a conviction and the criminal record remedies available. Additionally, the training will review the collateral consequences of a conviction in the contexts of employment, housing, and voting. The training will provide a foundation for assisting clients in overcoming reentry barriers in each of these areas.
