<prompt> Human: Long story short...lots of student loan debt. The case going to court is with a well known bank for over 25,000. I have a cosigner who is employed but I have recently lost my job. A mediation has been scheduled in one month. I just received a letter stating that there will be Interrogatories, Request for Admissions and Oral Depositions in October and November.I am in the state of California. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Assistant: Many of the law schools in California have free legal clinics. Google the law schools in your area to see what resources they have. Also some local bar associations will have pro bono office hours, where lawyers will be at a library and available to answer questions for free. Human: Wow, great! Im going to make some calls tomorrow. Its weird how corresponding with strangers on the internet can be so comforting.  <response>: The national consumer law center also helps people with student loan debt. Great group and lots of good info on their site
