I don't know directly the answer to this question, but I do have friends who are lawyers/in law school who have told me as an aside that there are programs in place for people who want to go into public defending-type law (where the pay sucks but since the salaries are so low, many people don't want to do this type of law) where if you go into this type of law, you can get your loans paid off. It is something to look into, again, don't know too much about it, or even if it is legit. I know NASW (National Assoc. of SW'ers) is trying to do the same thing for us because our salaries are so low and we are not eligible for any kind of assistance to help us in paying off our school loans. It stinks and I think so many of us get frustrated for going to school to try to better ourselves and end up living paycheck to paycheck. There is no easy answer though.
