1. the conviction----can be filled up by the lawyer.
2. the cause of conviction--can be filled up by the lawyer. They can help to memorize more details if they want...
   The personal information could be filled up by the lawyer first or left out for lawyer. In this way, they might not worry that they privacy is invaded by our app.
3. what they have done since then to improve their life or correct their behaviors... This section can be divided into two parts: personal behavior (stopped drinking, drug), mindset vs public evolvement (school, community services, recovery program)
4. motivations to clear the record. We can add several categories for them to keep organized. for example, Family: he/she is a parent now and want to provide a better life for the kids.... Career: find a more stable job. Health: a healthier life style now Society: be a more responsible citizen.....
