 Common legal terms that may not be so common but that you need to know in the criminal justice system. One of the most important things is how your case is resolved, whether you're adjudicated guilty or if adjudication is withheld. That means whether or not it is a formal conviction. On cases where adjudication is withheld, you would still be eligible to seal or expunge that off of your record. Obviously that's super important for future employment and criminal history searches.
