The JD is an internationally recognised degree awarded by about 200 universities world-wide. It is well established in several Common Law jurisdictions overseas (Australia, Canada and the United States) with a meaning that is universally understood. Although the degree has the word “Doctor” in its title, this is a traditional usage and it is not generally regarded as equivalent to a PhD degree or other doctoral awards. It is a first law degree for students who are already graduates in a non-law discipline. —– Juris Doctor (JD) City University of Hong Kong
