The 5th annual Second Chance Summit was held at the Nordloff Center, at 118 N Main Street.
The one-day outreach event provides an opportunity for people to remove old criminal offenses from their records.
Those who qualified to have offenses expunged or sealed met one-on-one with an attorney who helped them prepare a petition for judicial relief.
The service was free.
“In clearing their records, that allows them a path to employment. And an employed community is always going to be a much safer community, a better educated community,” said Wendy Crouch, with Prairie State Legal Services. “So, in clearing these records and allowing them to get back to employment, is beneficial for everybody in Rockford.”
Prairie Street Legal Services and Sen. Steve Stadelman (D-Rockford) sponsored Friday’s event.
