THIS WEEK’S DISCUSSION WILL BE HOSTED BY: Tetana Pyzhianova 
Each of you has probably been affected, either directly or indirectly through your friendship with others, by student loan debt.  As you know, student loan debt can accumulate very quickly and is often ignored until after the degrees for which the loans creating the debt are taken are completed.
But, then reality hits. Sometimes, student loan debt becomes almost insurmountable as graduates have difficulty paying living expenses and their indebtedness while earning only entry-level salaries. Faced with what may seem like a futile effort to repay their student loans, many attempt to discharge student loan debt by filing for bankruptcy protection.
However, the federal bankruptcy statute itself, and the case law applicable to discharging student loan debt, has made it very difficult to discharge it by filing for bankruptcy.  
11 U.S.C. 523.pdf
Actions
specifically addresses student loan debt and provides for a discharge only if the petitioner can show that not being allowed to discharge the debt in bankruptcy would cause “undue hardship on the debtor and the debtor’s dependents.”
Procedurally, one attempts to show “undue hardship” under Subsection 8 of Section 523  by filing a proceeding in a federal bankruptcy court. Decisions of the bankruptcy court may be appealed to a Federal District Court, and Federal District Court decisions may be appealed to a Federal Circuit Court. From there, one may petition the US Supreme Court to hear an appeal from a decision of a Federal Circuit Court in a bankruptcy case. To date, however, the Supreme Court has refused to render a decision on what constitutes “undue hardship” under Section 523 of the Bankruptcy Code.  
Most US Circuits (recall from Chapter Two that there are 13 Federal Circuit Courts that span the USA–we in New York are located in the Second Circuit) follow what is known as the “Brunner Test” in deciding whether someone has met Section 523(8)’s test of “undue hardship.” However, a minority of federal circuit courts follow the “Long Test” established by the Eighth Circuit in Long v. Educational Credit Management Corp., 322 F2d 549 (8th Cir. 2003).
After reviewing the text of Section 523(8) linked to above, review the text of the Brunner decision that was decided by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.  A link to the case appears here: Brunner v. NY Higher Educ. Servs Corp. 831 F.2d 395.pdf.
Actions
The Second Circuit’s decision is brief.  
Also review the student article Student Loans can be Discharged (at Least Partially) in Bankruptcy After All | ABI.pdf.
Actions
The article describes a different and more flexible test for establishing “undue hardship.” That test was established in the Long case referred to above (a link to the case appears at the end of this post).  
Brunner has been criticized as being too inflexible. In fact, as you will see from reading the linked article ABI Journal Article.Student Loan Discharge Decisions Poke Holes in the Brunner Test.. By J. Jackson Waste and Michael J. Fletcher.pdf
Actions
, the courts seem to be moving away from the Brunner test. 
After reviewing each of linked materials, explain which test you think should be applied in the case of someone seeking to discharge student loan debt by filing for bankruptcy relief.  Defend your position by explaining the reasons why you believe the interests of justice will be better served by the test you have chosen. Point out the flaws in the test NOT chosen.
Secondly, apart from the student loan example, explain WHY you agree or disagree that debtors should be allowed to discharge their debts in a bankruptcy proceeding. Is the bankruptcy mechanism for discharging debt fair to creditors?

2 different papers based on the same subject Annotated Bibliography– required to find a minimum of 20  authoritative resources from the extant literature to delineate within your annotated bibliography. Provide one brief paragraph at the beginning of the document to state the topic, research purpose, research questions, or hypotheses  List in ALPHABETICAL ORDER by author.
APA Formal Research Paper – a formal topical research paper in APA format to discuss his or her chosen topic in further detail. Do NOT use MLA format. APA is the prescribed format for all business courses Your MS Word document will be a minimum of 25 pages of actual content in APA format (i.e., double-spaced with one-inch margins all around) and not to exceed 35 pages maximum.
You will provide the following:
• Title page.
• Abstract with Keywords, (Yes, APA spells this as one word).
• Table of Contents, (Optional based upon how complex your paper is).
• your actual research content, discussion and/or literature review – divided into major headings and subheadings, as appropriate; 
• References, which appears on a separate page at the end of your document, but prior to any Appendix or Appendices.
• You may provide artwork/graphics, exhibits, figures, graphs, and tables; but I would prefer that you insert these at the end of your document as an Appendix or Appendices (plural).
You must perform scholarly research to complete this assignment. You MUST have evidentiary support from the extant literature to develop your formal topical paper. I strongly recommend at least two to three (02-03) parenthetical citations per page and at least 15 or more authoritative resources as the minimum expectations for this paper.
Utilize the identified resources from your annotated bibliography as a basis for your research paper. If you completed the annotated bibliography process correctly, it will make the research paper much easier to design and develop. 

Submit a 2-page Word document, using double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Please use the attached screenshots guidelines and resources to complete the assignment.
