Baton Rouge, La. — The Southern University Law Center has partnered with other groups to host an expungement intake event on Tuesday, Jan. 10.
The event is for East Baton Rouge Parish residents and is set to take place at the Dr. Leo S. Butler Community Center located at 950 E Washington St. in Baton Rouge. Residents can receive assistance between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
