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.

Somehow it seems so very appropriate for the terms " juris

doctor " , " doctor of jurisprucence " , and " pretentious as hell " to appear

in a single sentence.

well, if you've invested the time and the bread to get the extra

letters in your name, then you deserve to be called whatever you

want. Of course that doesn't automatically put you in with good

company. I think we have all worked with a physician before who's

first name was probably doctor...

And in the UK physicians with advanced degrees generally want to be

called Mr. , or so I've heard.

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

This is completely off current topics, and the list in general so feel free

to e-mail me off list----BUT---

Is there a difference between a juris doctor and a doctor of jurisprudence?

And, once you've completed law school and taken your boards (and passed) and

you have a " JD " can you refer to yourself as " Doctor " or can you only refer

to

yourself as " doctor " if you've gone to med school or gotten a Ph.D.?

Just a few curiosities, thinking about going to law school (not that being

able to call myself " doctor " or not will sway my decision any) and just seen

the

different variations, etc.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Cristi

P.S. I will have to incubate on the subject of law school further before I

make my decision. But I do solemnly swear that if I become an attorney, I

will

represent pro bono all patients who have been improperly incubated and all

medics accused of improper incubation.

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.
