Expungement
Expungement is a precise legal term relating to the removal of a charge from the person’s criminal record, or to the removal of evidence or testimony in a trial. Often, a lawyer must make a motion to the court on behalf of a person in order to gain expungement. However, other times courts may do this of their own accord.
