I'm not sure about the loans you get to go to law school, or the loans he got, but I was under the impression that student loans are something that you can't get out of if you declare bankruptcy, just like alimony or something like that. Asking for a refund is the only way out. Though I disagree with the idea that a refund is fair. Schools aren't exactly flush with cash to be handing back to students who leave or fail out...nor should they be. It's just another reason to finish a degree to make yourself THAT much more marketable.
I fail to see how sticking it out and finishing something like a JD is somehow worse in the long run (financially) than leaving with somewhere around 100k (I assume) that you will have to pay back to creditors with interest.
