Nearly a decade has passed since an aspiring young lawyer in California, Anna Alaburda, graduated in the top tier of her class, passed the state bar exam and set out to use the law degree she had spent about $150,000 to acquire.

Soon, in a San Diego courtroom, she will tell a story that has become all too familiar among law students in the United States: Since graduating from the Thomas Jefferson School of Law in 2008, she has yet to find a full-time salaried job as a lawyer.

Charging the school that it inflated the employment data for its graduates as a way to lure students.

But a California judge let Ms. Alaburda's suit proceed, brushing aside efforts by the law school to derail her claims.

"It has taken five years," said her lawyer, Brian A. Procel of Los Angeles. "But this will be the first time a law school will be on trial to defend its public employment figures."
Ms. Alaburda's day in court will take on added meaning: These will be her first public words after years of silence while she pursued a remedy for a legal education gone wrong.

She now has student debt of $170,000, with loan interest around 8 percent. Her law degree was not a ticket to a stable, well-paying career, but an expensive detour before she went on to work in a series of part-time positions, mostly temporary jobs reviewing documents for law firms. 

The intrest rate is 0.25% but the bank's student loans is 8%... Please...
