A pre-recorded streaming VIDEO replay of one session from the January live seminar, 56th Annual Criminal Law 2026.
Sponsored by Virginia CLE® in Cooperation with the Section on Criminal Law of the Virginia State Bar
This session provides a comprehensive, practitioner-focused overview of Virginia’s new records sealing legislation set to take effect on July 1, 2026. Designed for criminal law attorneys, judges, and justice system stakeholders, the course covers the nuts and bolts of the new statutory framework, including eligibility criteria, procedural requirements, timelines, and the respective roles of courts and counsel. Attendees will gain practical guidance on advising clients, litigating sealing petitions, navigating implementation challenges, and understanding the broader policy goals underlying the legislation. The session also addresses anticipated questions and unresolved issues as Virginia transitions to this significant change in criminal record relief.
