| Education and Training |  All American lawyers must first attend law school for at least three years, before taking the barrister’s exam.
Prospective attorneys in the United States, who received this degree is generally a Jurist Doctor.
The J.D. degree is alike the older Bachelor of Laws degree.
Colleges such as Harvard began demanding an undergraduate education as far back as 1896, in contravention to the earlier practice of giving a law degree as an undergraduate risk.
The S.J.D., or Scientum Jurist Doctor, literally "doctor of juridical science" is the highest law degree available in the United States.
This degree is also known by the abbreviation J.S.D. at some U.S. schools.
The degree should not be puzzled with the "doctor of laws" degree, which is usually, but not always, granted for honorary purposes.
