Record Sealing and Expungement Eligibility Checklist (Pasted Statute Only)
Checks sealing or expungement eligibility strictly against the statute text you paste: each condition quoted, the matching record fact with its source, waiting periods computed from supplied dates, disqualifying entries and missing records. With no statute pasted it concludes nothing.
The Prompt
Variables (6)
| Variable | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| {{client_name}} | Client Name | Renee Calloway |
| {{governing_state}} | Governing State | Oregon |
| {{current_date}} | Today's Date | 2026-10-02 |
| {{attorney_notes}} | Attorney Notes | Client wants to seal the 2017 theft conviction; unsure about the 2021 DUI diversion. |
| {{statute_text}} | Statute Text | Sec. 137.225(1) (paste verbatim text of the sealing provision, its definitions and exclusions). |
| {{criminal_record}} | Criminal Record | R1: Theft 3, Case 17CR0412, convicted Mar. 2, 2017, 12 months probation, discharged Mar. 9, 2018 (certified disposition). |
Expected Output
A conflicts section, a table of each quoted condition with the record fact, its source and status, waiting-period computations with arithmetic, disqualifying entries, missing records, authority-needed items, unsupported statements declined, declined requests, missing information and a verification list.
Usage Notes
Use it at intake or before filing a petition. Paste the full statute text for the relief you are considering, including definitions, exclusions and procedure, and the client's record entries with dates. Failure mode to watch: a conclusion of eligibility from an incomplete statute, or a waiting period counted by a rule the text does not give. Confirm the pasted text is current and complete, and confirm the record against the court file. Not legal advice. The attorney remains responsible for verifying every fact, figure and authority before use.
