[quote=Anonymous]A Juris Doctor is not a doctor of law, it is a bachelor's degree. The degree name was changed years ago from L.LB. to JD so that lawyers would have a degree with a similar name to people who went to medical shool - just look at the resume of some old guys who went to Harvard in the 60s. Someone with a law degree from a foreign country, like Canada for example, can sit for the bar in at least 3 states (NY, Mass and California) right out of law school. Canadian law schools do not require an initial bachelor's degree before you start law school, and in Quebec you can go straight to law school. Plus i'm pretty sure that if a U.S. law school wanted to admit someone without an initial bachelor's degree they could. The U.S. is the only country that I'm aware that requires an initial bachelor's degree before you go to law school. And anyone who thinks a U.S. law degree is something special compared to the legal education in other countries has never been a 3L.[/quote]
