What is the difference between sealing and setting aside?
If you were not sent to the California Youth Authority, we can seal your juvenile record which means that all records held by the police department, the court, the district attorney, and the probation department will be sealed. However, this does not apply to federal agencies. If the juvenile was sent to the California Youth Authority and was subsequently honorably discharged, we can petition to have the verdict of guilt set-aside, thereby releasing the individual from the penalties and disabilities of the conviction. Setting aside the verdict pursuant to Section 1772 operates to restore the discharged offender’s civil rights, releasing the offender “from all penalties and disabilities resulting from the offense or crime for which he or she was committed” as a matter of law.
