INTRODUCING…THE AMENDMENT FOUR!
Community Law Program has partnered with Stetson College of Law to offer a new legal clinic focusing on Amendment 4 Voting Rights, Driver’s License Suspensions due to fines and fees, and the Sealing/Expunction of Criminal Records. This clinic will be open to residents of Pinellas County who qualify for Community Law Program’s (CLP) services.
