Summary

Student loan debt is a heavy burden for many lawyers, shaping career choices, financial milestones, and long-term security. With the recent sweeping changes, shifts in federal student loan policies could significantly impact repayment options, forgiveness programs, and long term choices. Understanding how to navigate these changes is crucial for making informed financial decisions.
Join Jessica Medina, a lawyer turned Accredited Financial Counselor, as she breaks down practical strategies for tackling law school debt. Drawing from her own experience paying off six figures of student loans and advising attorneys nationwide, Jessica will cover:

  • The latest student loan policy updates, including pending cases and updated regulations, and what they mean for borrowers
  • Key repayment strategies that work for lawyers in dynamic careers, including income-driven plans and refinancing
  • How to balance mortgage-size law school debt when choosing, or shifting, your legal career path
  • Common mistakes lawyers make—and how to avoid them

A live Q&A session will allow attendees to get their specific questions answered and provide more clarity for all. Whether you’re just starting repayment or looking to optimize your strategy, this session will equip you with the tools to take control of your financial future.
