[quote=Anonymous]Oh boy. A JD is a "Juris Doctor" degree. It is the "terminal degree" in the field. (SJD degrees are basically a scam for foreign applicants - American lawyers rarely get them). It is the sole degree needed to become a tenured law professor. (Some law profs also have other degrees in other fields, but most have JDs). It is considered an "advanced" degree. If your choices on a form are "doctorate" or "masters" you can check whichever one you like better, or flip a coin. Neither is "right" and neither is "wrong." - a law professor who has a JD and a PhD and a masters[/quote]
