Americans owe more than $1.75 trillion in student loan debt. As the student debt crisis grows and the end of the pause on payments approaches, more borrowers are seeking legal advice about their options. 

This course, taught by student debt expert Natalie Jean-Baptiste, will cover trending topics in student debt relief, including the Biden administration's one-time federal student debt relief program and the legal challenges facing it. Designed for consumer and debt relief attorneys, the program will explore repayment options, loan forgiveness programs, and new guidelines on the discharge of student loan debt in bankruptcy.

  3. Explore different types of repayment plans and how they work

  4. Breakdown loan forgiveness programs and determine client's eligibility
