In the common law legal system, an expungement proceeding is a type of lawsuit in which a first time offender of a prior criminal conviction seeks that the records of that earlier process be sealed, making the records unavailable through the state or Federal repositories. If successful, the records are said to be expunged. Black's Law Dictionary defines expungement of record as the Process by which record of criminal conviction is destroyed or sealed from the state or Federal repository..
An expungement ordinarily means that an arrest or convictions sealed, or erased from a person's criminal record for most purposes. After the expungement process is complete, an arrest or a criminal conviction ordinarily does not need to be disclosed by the person who was arrested or convicted.
