Walk It Through: The Old Conviction

A Class E conviction years back, a job application, 4 years since the sentence, and a motion to seal.

An applicant has an old Class E conviction. The first job application has a box about convictions.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

A single Class E conviction with nothing since. Other classes of crime, and records outside the State Bureau of Identification, are left out.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
