The panel will provide an update on new decisions regarding bankruptcy discharges, provide forms and materials to help you assist your eligible client in obtaining a bankruptcy discharge, and how to get paid. The panel will discuss the new trend of redefining a “student loan” and narrowly reading Section 524(a)(8) to argue for discharge. We will also discuss non-discharge remedies for your clients through the use of chapter 13 plans to get your client’s current on payments and work out a loan modification. The panel will also discuss the new rules that went into effect on 10/16/18 and how to assist your clients in discharging their student loans outside of bankruptcy. In addition, the panel will discuss how to identify which type of student loan is at issue and the particular non-bankruptcy rules for each.



Why you should attend:



You want to stay on top of the current student loan caselaw and alternative non-discharge methods to assist your clients with their student loans. The panel will provide practical guidance on these subjects along with forms and briefs you can use in your practice.
