The American Bar Association (ABA) developed this tip sheet for service providers who work with survivors of human trafficking to assess their eligibility for post-conviction relief through expungement and vacatur laws. Unresolved criminal records can negatively affect survivors eligibility for services, programs, licenses, and jobs as well as their sense of empowerment and well-being. Therefore, the ABA suggests discussing with survivors the extent of their criminal legal involvement as part of their long-term support plans.
