Setting Aside a Conviction in Michigan

In Michigan the legal term is not expungement but 'setting aside a conviction' under MCL 780.621. A granted order makes the conviction non-public: it is removed from ICHAT and employer background checks, though law enforcement and courts keep a confidential copy. The process is a petition to the convicting court, with a hearing before the sentencing judge.
