Re: For you Lawyers--I'm Incubating...

[Guest guest]

I think you may have already received a response to this but there is

no difference between the two. Mine says Doctor of Jurisprudence but

it all depends on the school. Only ones I referred to as " Doctor " are

the ones who have a PhD and taught in law school (pure ego feeding).

Most still use the " Esq. " behind their name. Old english for Esquire.

If you are thinking about law school and have any questions, please

feel free to contact me off list (paulgrabowski@...). I did it at

night, had two kids and worked full time. When I had a little " free

time " I continued my EMS work. Not the best way to do it, but I am

still alive!

Regards,

Grabowski, J.D.

Re: For you Lawyers--I'm Incubating...

No difference between a doctor of jurisprudence and a juris doctor.

As for calling yourself doctor... theoretically, you can do it, but it's

pretentious as hell.

Email me if you have more questions about law school.
