RELIEF FROM THE COLLATERAL CONSEQUENCES OF A CRIMINAL CONVICTION
A State-By-State Resource Guide
By Margaret Colgate Love


"This book provides the most comprehensive and original guide to the increasingly important issue of the collateral consequences of felony conviction. It will prove invaluable to attorneys, policymakers and citizens alike." 
-- Marc Mauer, Director, The Sentencing Project

"Defenders understand how important it is to deal with the collateral consequences of conviction when representing their clients, both before and after conviction. This survey of applicable law in each state will prove to be an indispensable reference book in every defender office."
-- Jo-Ann Wallace, President and CEO, National Legal Aid & Defender Association


This work, the first-ever effort to catalog and analyze the relief mechanisms in every state, will be an indispensable field manual for practitioners and a valuable tool for advocates and policymakers. It forces awareness of the state of the law and practice in this country where it comes to giving criminal offenders a second chance. This work is the first complete survey of U.S. laws and practices that overcome or mitigate the collateral legal consequences of a criminal conviction. It begins with short analytical pieces on executive pardon, judicial expungement and sealing, deferred adjudication and set-aside, certificates of rehabilitation, and laws that limit consideration of conviction in connection with employment and licensing. 

Author Margaret Colgate Love is Director of the ABA Commission on Effective Criminal Sanctions. The heart of the guide is its detailed descriptions of available relief mechanisms for each U.S. jurisdiction and how they operate. A Table of Charts allows easy state-to-state comparisons. The guide is an invaluable resource for policymakers and legal researchers dealing with the barriers to offender re-entry and for practitioners at every level of the justice system. Due to frequent changes in this area of law, Love plans to update this work every six months.
