Michigan Works of Berrien, Cass, Van Buren counties, along with the Berrien County Friend of the Court and other partners, is planning a Friend of the Court Amnesty Day, Expungement and Resource Fair. It’s for southwest Michigan residents looking to clear bench warrants, clear criminal records, look for jobs, and find access to other services. The event will be on Tuesday, October 5 from 1 to 6 p.m. at the Michigan Works office on Main Street in Benton Harbor. There will also be a similar event on Thursday, October 7 at the Niles Public Library from 1 to 6 p.m. Michigan Works Second Chance Program manager Melissa Stolfo says whether “you’re looking for training, education, help with legal matters including expungement, or you just want to look for a new career, this event is for you.” Those who attend will need to register, and masks will be required.
