A lobbying effort to increase student loan forgiveness for lesser-compensated mid-career attorneys in public roles received a bipartisan boost Tuesday when advocates from both major political parties signed onto a support letter.
The amended bill, S4511B/A1568C, aims to expand the cap on what public defense lawyers, attorneys who work for civil legal services organizations, and district attorneys can receive in student loan forgiveness: up to $8,000 annually, for up to eight years, or $64,000.
