Re: Juris Doctor Candidate or Juris Doctorate Candidate
At most schools, J.D. is an abbreviation for Juris Doctor. At others, it is an abbreviation for Doctor of Jurisprudence.
Juris Doctorate is incorrect because it mixes two languages: Latin and English. This is like referring to a Bachelor of Arts as a Bachelor of Artium or as a Baccalaureus of Arts.

Re: Juris Doctor Candidate or Juris Doctorate Candidate
Doctor of Law has a nice ring to it, and is not incorrect.
Under the ABA and most states that have addressed the issue, it is not unethical for a J.D. to refer to themselves simply as a "doctor," though I think everyone agrees doing so is at least misleading.

This is a good response, though I would use as analogies Artium Bachelor's and Artium Master's.legalace wrote:At most schools, J.D. is an abbreviation for Juris Doctor. At others, it is an abbreviation for Doctor of Jurisprudence.
