You know that plan you have? You know. The one to go to law school in order to help people, and to not worry about student loan debt because, hey, those public service loan forgiveness programs will help you. Yeah. Turns out those might not be as reliable as you think. Great news for those indebted: new federal loan programs. If you currently have or are planning on taking on huge student loans, a new federal program effective July 1 can help you deal with the debt. Some borrowers can even have their student debt forgiven after 10 years if they work in public service jobs. Not bad. Related posts:

It's infuriating that the North Korean regime chose to pursue legal action against these Americans on vague grounds, but what's even more maddening is how little we've heard from Current TV or Al Gore, who founded the independent news network.

This week features articles about an "article" regarding Chapman University School of Law visiting professor John Yoo and his tortuous law school classes, a law school class in Rhode Island that teaches future lawyers how not to be soulless, hope-eating zombies, and how Yoo could be facing disbarrment for his role in the torture memos.
