Certificates of Rehabilitation can minimize the collateral consequences of an individual's criminal record and may provide restoration to some legal rights in New York State. This course will provide a practical guide for attorneys to assist clients in applying for certificates of rehabilitation. We will explain how to read a rap sheet and determine eligibility for Certificates of Relief from Disabilities and Certificates of Good Conduct. We will also explore the effects of certificates on employment and occupational licenses, clearances, and registrations.
