Juris Doctor
Juris Doctor (abbreviated J.D. or JD, from the Latin, Teacher of Law) is a professional degree in law offered by universities in a number of countries.
In the United States, Japan, and an increasing number of other countries, it is a professional degree usually earned after three years of full-time (four years of part-time) study after earning a bachelor's degree. One of the main purposes of the degree is to provide the professional training for those who wish to become lawyers. The J.D. is the degree required for admission to the bar in nearly all U.S. states and territorial jurisdictions.
