NACDL successfully advocated for the passage of legislation to establish a Public Attorney Student Loan Repayment Program for attorneys employed by the State of Delaware.
Written testimony of Bonnie Hoffman on behalf of NACDL in support of HB 380, The Public Attorney Student Loan Repayment Program.

We also strongly support additional changes contemplated by the Department that would allow more lawyers providing full-time public defense services (a job function explicitly listed in the Higher Education Act as qualifying employment) access to PSLF.
