Legal Aid for Americans Act of 2022

Summary

Legal Aid for Americans Act of 2022 This bill establishes a pro bono service requirement for law school graduates who borrow federal student loans for their graduate legal education. Specifically, such a borrower must agree to perform pro bono legal work for not fewer than 50 hours per year for three years after the borrower obtains a license to practice law in a state (or for three years after completing the program of study, for borrowers who already had a license to practice when they received the loan). The bill exempts certain individuals from this requirement, including a borrower who is employed in a public service job.
