Law school students learn how to argue over contracts. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they can litigate their way out of a contract to pay their law school loans. One Branford-based attorney is facing this reality after a federal judge ruled that, more than two decades after receiving his law degree, he owes the federal government more than $236,000 for his legal education.
Gregory P. Cohan went to the University of Bridgeport Law School—now the Quinnipiac School of Law—and got his Connecticut bar license in 1993. But he hasn’t made a payment on his law school loans since 2001. A few years before that, he consolidated his federal law school loans under the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program, which ties monthly repayment amounts to an individual’s income. After 25 years, any balance left on loans is forgiven.
