What Attorneys Should Know About Student Loan Debt

There are 1.5 trillion dollars in outstanding student loans in the United States that affect 40 million Americans. As attorneys, we need to have a basic knowledge of how to assist our clients in the handling of this type of debt and best be able to explain options. The student loan problem is often very confusing and misunderstood by the student loan borrower as well as the public. The student loan debt problem is multi-generational and continues to be the top hurdle for first-time home buyers. Student loans can negatively impact retirement, savings, job opportunities and employment options.

Topics for Discussion:

  • Basics of the student loan problem
  • Application of the statute of limitations
  • How to cure defaulted student loans
  • How to manage student loans base on income
  • How to utilize the bankruptcy process to address student loans
