Clemency & Pardons
in Criminal Matters
If you have been convicted of a crime, the State of Illinois has procedures for granting Pardons and Clemency. The Governor is given the constitutional power to grant a pardon or clemency following criminal conviction or juvenile adjudication.
Pardon: Vacates a conviction and expunges a criminal record.
Clemency: Results in a reduced sentence, but the conviction remains on record.
