I’d bet that the JD was to the MBA as, in a saner world, a .45 would be for a walk on Chicago streets.

I don't have a problem with the JD I have one. I think a legal education is an excellent way to round out your education especially in the accounting, science and engineering disciplines.

But regular folks don't make the distinction between having a law degree and being a lawyer and might scratch their head abit at Clint's comment.
