Law -> Juris Doctor
Hello! I was patrolling recent changes and saw that you've been changing "law degree" to "Juris Doctor degree" on a lot of pages and I'm wondering why you see this as necessary and/or constructive? Is there a difference between a law degree and a Juris Doctor degree? Personally, I think that unless there is a difference between these two terms, we should stick to "law degree" to enhance reader comprehension, as some people don't know what a Juris Doctor is while most people know what a law degree is. I generally find it better to use simpler language when one can without sacrificing accuracy. Thanks! Queenofconfusion (talk) 00:23, 2 January 2023 (UTC)


 * There are several kinds of law degrees. But since 1971, all United States law schools have awarded the Juris Doctor as the professional degree in law. The majority of Wikipedia entries for post 1970 law school graduates therefore use Juris Doctor or J.D. rather than "law degree." Because of the frequent use of "law degree," many people do not know the name of the current professional degree and wrongly imagine it to be a bachelors or masters degree. Use of the hyperlink and the reference to law school serves to eliminate any confusion in the minds of those who do not know what a Juris Doctor or J.D. is. 2601:205:3:DEE2:8565:73A6:4105:C1D3 (talk) 00:35, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
