## Definition

Post-conviction modification refers to the legal processes available to an individual after a conviction to alter, reduce, or eliminate the consequences of that conviction. Examples include expungement, where the criminal record is sealed or erased; and pardon, where the individual is formally forgiven for the crime. These modifications can help restore rights and opportunities lost due to the initial conviction.
