I want to get some copies of my transcripts while my case is pending... Where is this rule about not withholding transcripts? I tried searching online but can't find it.

If you want to read the bankruptcy cases in question, here are the links to both cases - http://www.ce9.uscourts.gov/Web/bap....e?OpenDocument and http://www.njb.uscourts.gov/chambers...illingsley.pdf (Caution - much legalese ahead! The second case is specific to not withholding transcripts.)

Will I need to go thru the school's lawyer or can I go straight to the registrars office and ask for them in writing?

Each school will have its own processes to get transcripts after you've filed bankruptcy including the school as one of your creditors. I would call ahead to the Registrar's Office to get the particulars.

Student Loans

Unfortunately your student loans don't fall under bankruptcy and there for you waiting and not making your payments is going to hurt you. Under Federal Law student loans are guaranteed by the federal government and because of this they do not fall under bankruptcy law. There fore the owner of the loan is still required to pay back what they owe even if they file bankruptcy. Any lawyer will tell you that, and your lawyer should have told you that.
