You may refer to the background information below when answering any exam questions related to the discharge of student loan debt. Under bankruptcy law, when a debt is discharged (excused) in bankruptcy court, it does not have to be repaid. Unlike most other forms of debt, however, student loans are typically non-dischargeable (can never be excused) and must be repaid. Recently, a group of students has called for a change in the law to make student loans dischargeable. Imagine that the next election includes a ballot question to change the law to allow student loans to be discharged.
