"It's the first day in the history of the United States that records will be sealed by automation. And it is quite possible that in the first week, more cases will be sealed by automation than have ever been sealed in the entire history of the United States," says Sharon Dietrich, litigation director at Community Legal Services, the nonprofit that helped craft Clean Slate. --------------------------------------------------------------- Before You Go [United States players celebrate after their match against Spain earlier this week.]( Alessandra Tarantino/AP - The Women's World Cup game that’s been hyped for months is finally here: U.S. versus France.
