JUSTICE FOR ALL

The Illinois Equal Justice Foundation funds civil legal aid programs across
the state, ensuring that all residents have equal access to the justice system.

These programs build stronger communities and a stronger Illinois.

New Leaf Illinois Celebrates One Year of Free Cannabis Expungement Services

 

New Leaf Illinois, a five-year pilot program developed by the Illinois Equal Justice Foundation (IEJF) that offers free cannabis expungement legal services and consultation through a network of 20 legal aid and advocacy organizations throughout the state, just celebrated its one-year anniversary.

Since launching in November 2020 with state funding, more than 1,300 people have registered for services, so Illinois residents with prior cannabis arrests or convictions can take the first step to clear their records.

New Leaf Illinois legal staff help people determine their eligibility for relief through an easy-to-use online registration portal at http://www.newleafillinois.org/or via phone at (855) 963-9532. Legal aid organizations within the New Leaf Illinois network provide free services in every region in Illinois when a person is eligible for relief.
