Hundreds of thousands of people with federal criminal records are held back, years after they’ve served their time.
We’re doing something about federal records.
We’re building a national coalition of legal scholars, policy experts, and justice advocates interested in fighting for a federal solution that restores hope, dignity, and opportunity for those who have paid their debt to society.

We’ll use this list to share campaign updates, upcoming events, and new stories from the people and organizations supporting federal expungement.
You’ll also hear about new resources and ways to get involved as the initiative grows.
About the initiative
Jeff Grant, Co-Founder of the White Collar Support Group, Professor Mark Osler of the University of St. Thomas School of Law, Professor Rachel Barkow of the New York University School of Law and Professor Douglas Berman of the Ohio State University Moritz College of Law are proud to announce the launch of the Federal Expungement Initiative.
Together, we are committed to creating a clear federal process for criminal record expungement so those who have taken responsibility and paid their debt to society may have a real chance at restoration, dignity, and a future.
