On the other hand, see this example:
this law school application instruction http://www.cooley.edu/prospective/disclosure.html says
"Sealed judgments, dismissals after plea, and acknowledgement of wrongdoing, as well as expunged convictions, must be disclosed even if they were juvenile matters."
I guess usually it is okay. In fact, California law prohibit to use sealed juvie record in the consideration of professional licensing board (CPA, medical etc.). It all depends.
