JD degree
Bar exam prerequisite
A JD degree is a Juris Doctor, the professional doctorate required to practice law in the United States.
The term is redundant—the D already stands for degree—but appears frequently in casual usage: She's finishing her JD degree next spring.
Law schools award the JD after three years of post-undergraduate study.
