BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Jack D. Cox, associate dean and director of admissions and financial aid at the University at Buffalo Law School, will lead a workshop on "Law School Debt Management" from 6-7:30 p.m. on April 28 at the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund, 99 Hudson St., 14th floor, New York City.

The workshop, sponsored by the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund, is designed specifically for Hispanic students and other student minorities, who are seeking to finance an increasingly expensive legal education.

"Many law graduate are finding out after they graduate that they have mortgaged their futures, before they buy their house," says Cox.

The session will cover financial-aid basics and offer tips from an expert who has financial-aid experience with both private and public law schools.

The event will free and open to the public, but space is limited. For reservations, call Sonia Patrick at (212) 219-3360, ext. 223 or fax her at (212) 431-4276.
