We wanted to share with you some updated resources and training opportunities for the recently expanded Ohio Governor’s Expedited Pardon Project<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ohioexpeditedpardon.org%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cmarshams%40library.ohio.gov%7Cf640851b29a44f2810c908d9ecd6f84d%7C50f8fcc494d84f0784eb36ed57c7c8a2%7C0%7C0%7C637801231587680098%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=1Fe%2B5Jzzmofh4fbpabe09C0n4t6jijRz%2FiOh4MRbUKs%3D&reserved=0>.  The project is aimed at enhancing and expediting the pardon application process in Ohio for people meeting certain criteria who can show that they have been rehabilitated and have contributed positively to their communities after completing their sentences.  The project was established in collaboration between Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Project Team members the Drug Enforcement and Policy Center at The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law, and the Reentry Clinic at The University of Akron School of Law.  The project was recently expanded to include additional service providers, including the University of Dayton School of Law, Cleveland State University Cleveland-Marshall College of Law, and Ohio Justice & Policy Center in partnership with the University of Cincinnati College of Law.

The Project Team has created an informational flyer<https://law.uakron.libguides.com/ld.php?content_id=52022297> to advertise the project, and Project Partners are available to host Q&A sessions with libraries in order to better educate the public about the project.  We can provide further details about the Q&A sessions or create a program proposal if that would help.

We would appreciate it if you could print and post, or otherwise share the above flyer with your library communities and let us know if you would like to schedule a Q&A session. We have also created a library guide with additional information about the process located here<https://law.uakron.libguides.com/expeditedpardon> [https://law.uakron.libguides.com/expeditedpardon].  Please feel free to share the link to the library guide on your website or other communications.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Sarah Starnes<mailto:sstarnes at uakron.edu> at Akron or Emma MacGuidwin<mailto:macguidwin.1 at osu.edu> at Ohio State.  We appreciate your help in increasing public awareness about this important project!

Best,

Emma
