The Project

Greater Boston Legal Services’ CORI & Re-entry Project is the only legal aid program in Massachusetts with a large-scale volume practice of CORI clients. Hannah’s project worked to seal criminal record to remove a barrier to employment and other opportunities, so that individuals can continue to move forward with their lives.

Hannah was  the right person for the project because she worked on unemployment benefits cases and began to wonder about all of the individuals who cannot even get a job because of their criminal record.
