From the article:

"Dorothy Brown, clerk of the Cook County (Ill.) Circuit Court, outlined how she has organized expungement summits across the state line."

It would seem they are still in the planning stage, unless I am misreading something. My understanding is that the "summit" cannot enact the practice unilaterally.

That requires legislative approval at the state level.

Good luck with it. No politician wants to be accused of being “soft on crime.”

And it doesn’t address why so many black males wind up in prison in the first place. Expungement is akin to treating the symptom without addressing the underlying cause.

No that is not a long term solution.

I was being facetious because Chicago/Cook is already such a hotbed of criminals.
