[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who really cares about the answer to this question? [b]Certainly a J.D. is well beyond[/b] a bachelor's or [b]even master's level[/b]. It's not necessarily equivalent to an M.D. or PhD because it's a different degree. I worked very hard in law school but all of my doctor friends worked hard too and for more years. What's the difference? I can't think of any form that the OP is referring to that would require this much precision in the answer--all I can think of are census forms, warranty cards, opinion surveys....your answer to this question is not going to make a difference. [/quote] Hmm. I don't see how a single year can be described as "well beyond", especially considering the potential disparity in intellectual depth between academic and professional education.[/quote] A "single year?" Seriously? Say what you will about the differences between a JD and a PhD, [b]but it's my understanding that master's degrees generally require 30 or so credits (max)[/b], while a law degree requires about 85 to 90 credits. Then of course one needs to get licensed to actually use their degree.[/quote] Probably more like 45. [/quote]
