Re: Juris Doctor Candidate or Juris Doctorate Candidate
Wikipedia uses "Juris Doctor," no italics. I don't think anybody who knows what's up says "Juris Doctorate." Searching for that terms on Google gets a bunch of redirects to "Juris Doctor" and a few hits that mostly look like bottom tier and online law schools.
That said, I agree with TheNerdProject that "J.D. Candidate" is best. I've never seen anybody write out the full term in daily usage (which is why we all needed to look it up), and it looks pretentious to me, just like it would be uselessly pretentious if I listed my undergrad degree as "Artium Baccalaureus."

Re: Juris Doctor Candidate or Juris Doctorate Candidate
Do you write "Bachaelor of Fine Arts," "Bachaelor of Science," etc for your undergrad degree? No. You say BFA, BA, BS, etc. Why would a JD be any different?

As to the law degree, my school says to use J.D. or Juris Doctor, but not Juris Doctorate.
I'd say just keep consistent. If you abbreviate one degree, abbreviate the other.

Actually, yes I do write out Bachelor of Arts. (and we were told to by career services)
They also say to use Juris Doctor and not Doctorate.

Re: Juris Doctor Candidate or Juris Doctorate Candidate
I'm personally sick of this candidate crap. Your resume is going to say something like State U, J.D. 2012. They know that it is not yet 2012. I'd prefer to see exp. 2012 than the pomp of J.D. Candidate, 2012.
I think this is something that has been dragged out of PhD programs by insecure, pretentious law students. We don't write a dissertation; we're never "candidates."

Re: Juris Doctor Candidate or Juris Doctorate Candidate
We were told by career services to go with "J.D. Expected, May 2011." Apparently career services departments widely disagree on this important issue!
I think either J.D. or Juris Doctor is fine. Juris Doctorate is not.

Candidate: Doctor of Jurisprudence
In a few years when you are on an airplane and someone yells, "Help! Is there a doctor in the room?", make sure you are ready to respond.

I would say "The Doctor of Jurisprudence" is credited.

Re: Juris Doctor Candidate or Juris Doctorate Candidate
if you did moot court it should be "Doctorate of Jurisprudential Demagoguery" otherwise it should be "Juris Doctor"
