Help for lawyers with crippling law school debt may finally be on the way with the College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007. The bill aims to help law students and other graduates through an income-based loan-repayment plan. A White House spokesman says President Bush has indicated he will sign the legislation. Law professor Philip Schrag says that because the bill is part of a package that reauthorizes some programs due to expire on Oct. 1, he hopes the signing will take place before that.

Nearly two decades ago, Philip G. Schrag said he saw the need to help law students with crippling law school debt.
Schrag, professor of law and director of the Center for Applied Legal Studies and Public Interest Law Scholars Program at Georgetown University Law Center, said many of his students stayed in the public sector, but struggled to make ends meet.
