J.D. is a J.D.

Whelp, I officially graduated from law school. Yes-sir-ee! I just got my last grade EVER, in law school, which was an A (thank-you, Candice!).

Someone who graduates from law school receives a Juris Doctorate (J.D.) degree. So, officially, I am a Doctor of Law, although most law school graduates do not go by the title, Dr., for it is quite a societal faux-pas.

Licensed attorneys usually receive the title of Esquire. For example, Ryan W. Heinemann is a practicing attorney in New York, and thus his title would be Ryan W. Heinemann, Esq.

Well, I am not yet a licensed attorney, and therefore ineligible to receive that title. I will let you know once that happens, believe you me. But until then, just call me J.D. Squared.
