We are excited to announce an upcoming expungement event organized by the Kansas Legal Services in collaboration with TBA. This event aims to provide valuable assistance to individuals seeking expungement of their criminal records. Event Details:
Additionally, a group of volunteers with Code for KC who passionately believe that expungement should be available to everyone have created Clear My Record – Expungement Project. The Clear My Record project aims to develop a web-based application that allows a person with a criminal conviction to determine if the crime is eligible for expungement and to complete an application for expungement for filing with the court. Currently, no such system exists and expungements are complicated and cumbersome for those affected. For legal assistance visit our find a lawyer page or contact Kansas Legal Services.

Expungement Day
The Topeka Bar Association has hosted multiple Clean Slate Day projects. The Clean Slate Day project is a pro bono service project designed to offer individuals the opportunity to have certain qualifying adult criminal arrests, convictions and diversions expunged through a simplified process. This may assist in removing barriers which prevented employment and housing opportunities. Only adult arrests, convictions, and diversions occurring in Shawnee County qualify for this project. Federal and municipal court cases cannot be addressed at this project.
The Clean Slate project is possible through the combined efforts of members of the Topeka Bar Association, Third Judicial District Court, office of Shawnee County District Attorney Mike Kagay, Third Judicial District Public Defender Office, Kansas Legal Services, Washburn Law School, and Butler and Associates.
