Cornell’s updated Criminal Record Online Toolkit helps people with criminal justice involvement pursue employment by explaining rights and correcting record errors in New York and four nearby states. Developed by the Criminal Justice and Employment Initiative, it centralizes federal, state, and local laws, forms, and sample documents. The toolkit guides users on understanding, fixing, and researching records, including expungement and “ban the box” protections. It supports broader efforts to improve job opportunities and second chances for those with records.
