How does one get these documents? How do you find a clerk of court if that is indeed the right person? If you need to have the records in a hurry is there anyway to expedite the process. Do you need to talk to lawyers or investigators for that sort of work ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
And oh, yes , the conviction is question was mine own. I was a silly girl once upon a time. And no , im not in Ireland.

Thanks!

If no one can answer you here, I would try the college forums, you might be lucky and catch a law student online. Failing that, I think you do need to ask a legal pro.. IMO, I think you are able to obtain records/correspondence on yourself, but how quickly - I don't know.

I can see the problem but im reasonably certain that what i am asking about would not constitute legal advice. This is a procedureal matter. If you were to tell someone to go to Oasis.gov to submit form x to get a rebate , no-one would think you had suddenly become the guys accountant. I see a query liek this the same way.

That's my opinion , and it may be wrong , it may be against policy here, Ill delete it all if a mod asks me to. But im still hoping some kind soul will point me in the right direction of some answers

Well apart from all that, I mean this seems like it's pretty improtant and kind of urgent..why don't you just contact a solicitor? Even if someone does offer you answers here, who's to say it's right? You may be waisting valubal time?
