Background: Expunge Assist, a division of Hack for LA, aims to help people in California with non-violent criminal records accomplish record clearance, expungement, or reduction as a result of Prop 47 and Prop 64.

Challenge: Throughout the expungement process there is a higher dropoff rate for clients when they are tasked with writing a personal statement to show a judge how they’ve changed their life for the better since their conviction. Our team focussed on creating a web tool to make this process easier.
