[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The Juris Doctor (or Juris Doctorate) is a law degree that originally surfaced in the United States during the 1960s. This "new" law degree was designed as a replacement or alternative to its academic equivalent, the LLB or Bachelor of Laws degree. The degree quickly gained popularity as it afforded the holder the professional recognition of a doctoral degree in law. From an academic perspective, above the Juris Doctor (JD) is the LLM degree (Master of Laws) and then the SJD, JSD, LLD, etc., the true research based doctor of Laws terminal degrees. Notwithstanding, the official word, according to Merriam Webster's Dictionary, the Juris Doctor is “a degree equivalent to bachelor of laws”. It's not a doctoral degree. [/quote] So you're saying it's the equivalent of a bachelors degree? No one thinks that. OP definitely should not check bachelors degree.[/quote]
