Introduction - the double LLD
The article isn't right, the double L in LLD isn't due to the teaching of two types of law but due to the Latin plural — Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.89.51.59 (talk) 08:14, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Except that it seems as if the point of the Latin plural is precisely to note the relevance of both types of law. So the two canvased explanations needn't be in conflict.

Also, there is no citation where it says that the double L indicates the plural, doctor of both laws. This should be cited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.128.116.55 (talk) 03:53, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

SJD/JSD
If the LLD is understood as it is in the UK, as a post-PhD degree, the SJD/JSD wouldn't be the equivalent of the LLD. It typically requires a year of coursework post-JD/LLB plus a thesis; it's really the equivalent of a PhD in law. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.235.2.190 (talk) 15:03, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Field
The article is ambiguous whether the degree recognises distinction in law, or in other branches of learning. There are examples which seem to show the latter (eg George Boole who was not a lawyer at all but was awarded the degree at Dublin for his achievements in mathematics; I've also come across an Irish nineteenth-century example – a top surgeon in the British Army – but can't now trace the reference).
