[quote=Anonymous]JD with another terminal grad degree here (I did a 3 yr MFA in writing, not a Phd). A JD is a professional degree, and zero scholarly research is required of students in a JD program. Which makes sense, they are going to be asked to practice law for clients -- not publish research on Postmodern Constitutionalism. A professor is a scholar -- the primary job would be to advance research in the field of political science (and teaching is necessary, but secondary). Publish or perish, right? JD's are not qualified to do that; at least they certainly haven't proven an ability to do that with a dissertation. JDs and PhDs are apples and oranges. OP, you are an excellent example of that phrase "You don't know what you don't know." And there seems to be a great deal about political science scholarship, probably 99% of it, that you don't know. You are embarrassing yourself. [/quote]
