of Congress last two years, and at the end of each session all
proposed bills and resolutions that haven't passed are cleared from the books.
Members often reintroduce bills that did not come up for debate
under a new number in the next session.

Aug 12, 2008 11:24 AM - Will this bill offer loan forgiveness retroactively for prosecutors and defenders who have been so employed for a number of years but who are still repaying substantial loans? -

No, the bill is intended to encourage people to become prosecutors or public defenders and make a three-year commitment to public service so preference is given to those who have 3 years or fewer of service. Answered by a visitor on Nov 18, 2008 5:26 PM -
But are "older" prosecutors & defenders actually eligible for the loan forgiveness, or do they just get in line after the newer attorneys? Nov 7, 2008 2:00 PM - Has there been a similar bill signed into law that aids government attorneys with student loans? -
