This is a student-organized panel to help public interest focused 1Ls navigate loans during and after law school. The loan choices you make now can mean tens of thousands of dollars more later! We will discuss the pros and cons of Harvard’s loan repayment programs and suggest resources to help you make the best decision for your situation. We’ll also reflect on how to stay committed to public interest work at HLS.
