Cannabis Expungement Setup


This page outlines how to setup LegalServer for the New Leaf Cannabis Expungement project in Illinois.


This takes advantage of two newer modules in LegalServer, Charges and Services. Both of these modules should be available on all sites. If not, please file a ticket with LegalServer to enable them.


As outlined below, charges tracks the past charges/convictions for the client, while Services tracks the expungement attempts and their outcomes. This allows for multiple charges being handled with one expungement attempt, or multiple results on multiple expungement attempts without opening separate full LegalServer intakes (although you could always do that too).


Setup


Modify the following lookups

    • Charge

      • Misdemeanor Non-conviction (Category 1)

      • Felony Non-conviction (Category 1)

      • Misdemeanor Conviction

      • Felony Conviction <30 Grams

      • Felony Conviction >30 Grams

    • Phase Decision

      • Granted in Full (Vacated & Expunged)

      • Granted in Part

      • Denied (Statutory)

      • Denied (Discretionary)

      • Pending [Optional]

    • Service Type

      • Cannabis Expungement

    • Charge Outcome (not actually used on this buildout, but this is a related system field for Charges)

      • Conviction

      • Non-Conviction


Any other lookups can use your existing lookup values. The funder does not have any specific requirements for those fields (race, gender, etc.).


Note that the above modifications only require the value/name of the records to be set, and the values left as Active. Any additional fields on those lookups is optional.


Create the following custom fields

    • County of Cannabis Conviction on the Charge Module
