It's considered post-doctural work by lawyers with a JD.Of course, because IT IS. That is to those who actually have done the work. The pedant class, like the media class, cannot get that simple fact.
“Most attornies would agree with MB’s phraseology.” Are you an attorney?
Would they? I don’t know frankly. Wiki doesn’t and while that is not an authoritative source, its “crowd sourcing” nature would imply that most attorneys would not.
Again, I don’t think she needs to pad her resume. She should simply refer to it as a “post-graduate” degree and let it go at that.
Are you a lawyer?
What does it matter? The issue is simple - you are a self confessed pedant. So be it. MB was accurate, you dislike that fact. (And yes, a Juris Doctorate IS a Doctorate, and an LLM is a POST doctoral degree in the legal community.) What I do for a living, or not, is not the issue here.
And nuttier than grandma's peanut brittle.
I will be sending him an email.
LOL>>>well, every once in a while they're right.
Kinda like a stopped clock.
just teboed fox snooze sunday with chipmunk.
chipmunk really embarassed himself.
“What does it matter?”
Well it matters because you are telling us what is true and what is not true.
So you’re not a lawyer. That’s fine. I despise lawyers.
I’ve never heard any lawyer refer to themselves as having a “doctorate”. In every single case, they say “I have a law degree.” A JD is a professional degree and not a doctorate as most (the few being you and another poster so far) would think of it.
My point, again, is that she leaves her open to the charge of resume padding. Why? Just refer to it at a “post-graduate” degree.
So you’re not a lawyer.Really? Where did I say that?
I’ve never heard any lawyer refer to themselves as having a “doctorate”.So, you don't get out much. Many times I have heard that.
My point, again, is that she leaves her open to the charge of resume padding.No. Not even a little. She would be guilty of that if she claimed that she had a degree that she did NOT have. To call the degree she got AFTER she got her Doctor of Laws a "post doctoral degree" is simply factual.
I believe they both lost their license...is that a fact?
are they still entitled to be referred to as Lawyers?
so just maybe Michele Brachmann’s resume looks a little stronger than the Obama’s..
“is simply factual”
I’m the pendant here and I say that a degree gotten after even a real doctorate isn’t a “post-doctoral” degree. That is unless it is one of those super PhD’s awarded in Russia but that is overly pedantic even for me.
My response would be No, are you a jerk, because that is an insulting jerk question.
Then I woudld have launched into her excellent answer.
LLM - "post"-doctorate degree for Bachman
How dare she call her J.D. a "doctorate" degree!
Are you trying to make yourself look like a flake, FRiend, or are you just confused? You can quibble with the definition of what a J.D. is, but the degree has "doctorate" in one of the two words that comprise its title.
Your post reminds me of those who try and dissect what Sarah Palin says, only to find out that Palin was technically right, and people like you are wrong.

the other way to look at this as training /sparring like fighting...just preparing her for a lot worse treatment that’s coming her way.
No, when I try to make myself look like a flake I just post the same message twice.
