Unfortunately, the fact that you have an eight year old conviction for fraud will affect your ability to find some kinds of employment. This is usually in the financial sector. You may wish to study for a law degree and I say good for you, at least you will be using the law to your advantage, but this is one other area that can be affected by your conviction. Spent or not certain types of employment are off limits for you. Even when you don't have to declare it (except when asked to under compulsory regulations) you can take advantage of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1986 when deciding what you need to declare.

Get a No Cost Background Check Scan at https://bitly.im/aNDOt
Its a sensible way to start. The site allows you to do a no cost scan simply to find out if any sort of data is in existence. A smaller analysis is done without cost. To get a detailed report its a modest payment.
You may not realize how many good reasons there are to try and find out more about the people around you. After all, whether you're talking about new friends, employees, doctors, caretakers for elderly family members, or even significant others, you, as a citizen, have a right to know whether the people you surround yourself with are who they say they are. This goes double in any situation that involves your children, which not only includes teachers and babysitters, but also scout masters, little league coaches and others. Bottom line, if you want to find out more about someone, you should perform a background check.

Hmmm. Where you live determines much of the answer. If you are in the States, you can call your Office of Public Defender and usually they will walk you trhough the process to have your record EXPUNGED. (the term in States) If the fraud waws a felony it will be more difficult. Start with the PD and take copious notes. You might need an attorney's help. I advise against getting too deep into the law school track unless you KNOW that you can have it expunged, as no Applicant for the Bar will be allowed with a felony conviction. You could be a paralegal as a fall back if it is bad news. Keep at it and good luck!

If you want to study for a law degree this should be the first part of your study. It most certainly cannot ever be totally wiped from your records tho
It all depends on the sentence given for the offence, if over 2 and half years it's there for ever.
If under that then it depends on length of sentence and how old you were.
Look up the relevant acts for yourself, like doing study!!!

No, it cannot be cleared. However, you should contact the American Bar Association! You may be able to obtain a law degree and be admitted to the BAR even with a conviction! Missouri is very accommodating of such things, and so are a few other states. However, you usually have to complete other "rehabilitation" work before you are allowed to be admitted to the BAR. Please, contact the ABA.

It depends on how the sentence was and if you have served that sentence,it can either be imprisonment,to pay fine or something else but if you have served that sentence then nothing can prevent you to study your degree, a criminal record of course is going to be needed but it doesnt mean that you cant go to school or work.

No, you have to wait until your conviction license is spent. Contact your old probabtion officer who will tell you when yours is up. I think it could be 10 years after date of conviction but I'm not sure. Unfortunatley there isn't a lot of sympathy towards those with a prior conviction, and the fact that it is affecting your search for employment is, basically, tough.

Yes -- But it depends on the judge. Need to hire an attorney in your state to see what the laws regarding expongement are

it's either 10, 12 or 15 years till your conviction is spent. you should know this.
the fact that you have a conviction won't stop you studying though, so get your *** off to college mate
it takes a few years to get a law degree, by the time you've been through college and uni, your conviction will be spent...
