Mitra Purpur is a Fellow at Root & Rebound through the Legal Services Funders Network (LSFN) Public Interest Law Bar Fellowship. She is a part of the record cleaning team and helps clients achieve expungements. Mitra is engaged in all stages of record cleaning cases: she conducts initial intakes, advises clients about the impact of record cleaning and their initial eligibility, assesses government records to determine eligibility for different remedies, interviews clients, conducts legal research, and drafts declarations and related documents for court filing.
Mitra recently received her J.D. from UC Davis School of Law in 2024. During law school, she particularly enjoyed participating in the Aoki Conviction and Sentence Integrity Practicum, where she worked for the resentencing and release of incarcerated individuals through prosecutor-initiated resentencing, a post-conviction remedy. Before law school, she graduated from UC Berkeley summa cum laude in 2020, with a B.A. in Political Science and a minor in Human Rights. There, she spent three years as a Conduct Caseworker in the Student Advocate’s Office, advocating for clients accused of violating UC Berkeley’s Code of Conduct.
