What is a J.D.?
J.D. stands for Juris Doctor. It is a law degree that is typically granted to students who receive a legal education after they’ve completed an undergraduate degree. On the other hand, the LL.B. is typically granted after completion of a legal education that is obtained following graduation from high school in virtually all Commonwealth jurisdictions. The J.D. degree designation is intended to bring the law school up to the growing international standards for second degree law programs.
