Online Law degrees

somewhat off-topic - this is an article about the "ultimate bar passage rate" (which I didn't know was a thing).

I have a JD and PhD.  State bars do not let lawyers call themselves Dr. unless they actually are a medical Dr. or some sort of PhD. There is no comparison between a PhD and JD.  A real PhD (not a Jill Biden EdD or Joe Biden LLD and DHL) involves formulating an approved thesis question, doing research and writing and defending the finished thesis or disseration. This can take 2 to 10 years depending on the candidate and how uncooperative their advisor and committee are. Mine took 6 years and involved a huge hassle with the initial advisor who I replaced and who then took revenge by failing me on a section of my comprehensive exam which had to be retaken. The law student attends classes and that is it, the EdD might or might not write something similar to a capstone and Hon LLD just gets the sheepskin for their achievements.  An EdD can call theselves Dr. but we all know thay are EdDs. Also anyone who instructs at at least the community college level can call themselves "professor" whether they have a PhD or not.  Doctors, chiropractor, osteopaths, naturopaths in the medical field are completely different and are a different sort of doctor.  Most languages make a distinction, English due to its simplicity and lack of nuance does not, hence the confusion.
