Part of what we do at Student Legal Services is help educate students on how any additions to their criminal records may affect their future ability to find employment or get into graduate school.
Recently the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed a couple of lawsuits challenging some employers' uses of job applicant background checks. The legal community, as well as Student Legal Services, will be waiting to see how these cases pan out and how that may affect future e criminal background check processes.
