The J.D. is indeed a first professional law degree, and there remains much debate as to whether the degree is a true "doctorate" or graduate degree. Many American law schools do not recognize the J.D. as a graduate law degree. Harvard Law School and Yale Law School, for example, list the LL.M. and the S.J.D. under the heading of graduate law programs.

The J.D. is often referred to as a "Doctor of Laws," such as in the following citations:

Which is probably why you erased your comment on the Doctor of Laws discussion page. Please note that the planned new draft of the article will make a distinction between research and professional degrees. Please also note the comments on that and various other pages which discuss the problems of trying to order degrees into an hierarchy. Zoticogrillo (talk) 05:53, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
