"I'LL GET YOU MY PRETTY, AND YOUR LITTLE DOG TOTO TOO"

[Yssup Rider]

I have never seen it written as a Juris "Doctorate," nor have I ever seen Juris "Doctorate" on any diploma, you stupid asshole.

In other words, YOU'RE WRONG. It's not the proper term, and if you were even an attorney, you'd know it.*

JD is the degree
by Zearfoss, Sarah
One of life’s great indulgences is the cognoscente’s feeling of smug superiority when others get some inside-baseball bit of information wrong. It’s a heady amalgam of emotions—lamenting how the world is going to hell while simultaneously assuring yourself that it is, at any rate, not YOUR fault. And I have noted in my own case that the impulse is exacerbated when I learned the key bit of information relatively late in life. I suppose the increased degree of smugness is borne of overcompensation. There are things that I can actually remember learning as an adult, and yet they still elicit a quick, happy disdain in my heart when someone else gets them wrong.

I’m not alone in this, I’m sure. Once, while out of town for a law school conference, I had dinner with a faculty member—let’s call him Professor Black—who might reasonably be described as combative; he also invited someone from another law school. At dinner, Professor Black told a little story using the term “schadenfreude”; when our dinner companion chuckled, Professor Black challenged him, gleefully: “Do you even know what schadenfreude means?” No, the dinner companion was compelled to confess; he did not. It is hard to describe the level of exultation this confession elicited in Professor Black—the word “cackling” comes to mind. Meanwhile, I contemplated stabbing myself in the eyes with my dinner fork. My bystander-mortification didn’t stop me from retailing this story as soon as I returned to Michigan, mind you. And that’s how I learned, from the first person I told (we’ll call him, let’s see, Professor Schmiller), that he had introduced Professor Black to the word schadenfreude a mere week or so before. I’m happy to report that Professor Schmiller’s resulting glee and exultation in learning of his colleague’s behavior surpassed even Professor Black’s at the time of the incident.

Hilarious though it may be, this behavior is not attractive. Clearly, we should all struggle to better ourselves and overcome such impulses. But I haven’t reached that plane of development. I’m a flawed individual, and this flaw happens to be right up my alley. While I aspire to self-improvement, it just hasn’t happened yet. (Let’s be honest; it may never come. I don’t try as hard as I ought.)

So let me throw up my hands and share with you a mistake that elicits an unbecoming smirk in me. The degree people get when they graduate from law school is a JD. What does it stand for? Juris doctor. It does NOT stand for juris doctorate. “Juris doctorate” is not an actual thing.

The fact that many people get this wrong has been striking me forcibly of late, as I am involved in three separate searches for administrative positions to be filled at the Law School. The number of job applicants who erroneously identify themselves as possessing “juris doctorates” has been astonishing—although somewhat less astonishing than the fact that if you Google the term “juris doctorate,” you will find webpages of multiple law schools touting that degree.

But now I have performed a small public service, perhaps decreasing the number of people who might have made that mistake, which in turn might lead to fewer instances of bad behavior on my part. And who knows? Maybe someday I will actually improve my fundamentals.

In other words, it's not a Ocrybaby Indoctrination University

[Yssup Rider]

where did you matriculate, Slobbrin?

[CuteOldGuy]

I have a juris doctorate. I know how it is spelled. If you haven't seen it, it simply shows your lack of intellectual capacity, which is evident to all of us. But I don't think you are that stupid. You could be, but I think it is more of a case that . . .


You LIED!!!

[Yssup Rider]

So are you calling the Assistant Dean of UM Law school a liar too?
.
that's my corroboration.

according to this article, anybody offering you a Juris "doctorate" is likely a snake oil salesman. I know a few judges, appeals court justices and a number of state Supreme Court members... None of them have Juris Doctorates. ,

Where did you get your JD, Whiny? Back of a matchbook?

it's beginning to look like your entire ruse as a "former" attorney is one big lie, just as we suspected from the jump.

In other words,,Whiny, you're a liar AND a fraud.

Glad you brought this up. It's just what everybody needed to finally find out about you, Perry fucking Mason!

[CuteOldGuy]

You googled juris doctorate and searched until you found this article. One of very few that takes that position. There are hundreds of others that don't dispute the term. Admit it, AssupRidee, DEM, DOTY 2013-2014 . . .

You LIED!!!

[Yssup Rider]

Actually, that popped right up at the top, Doctorate! Plus, Toto, I have probably seen more JD diplomas than you. You got sandbagged, Glory Hole. No wonder you lost your license.

so did this... Even though they say it's a doctorate, the term is NOT Juris Doctorate in this link.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juris_Doctor

Or, this one, which recognizes JD as everything but Juris DoctorATE.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/JD

You are a complete idiot. Keep carping.

You fucked up and anybody who's seen a law degree knows it.

[CuteOldGuy]

My diploma says juris doctor. It is a doctorate in jurisprudence. A juris doctorate, as it were.

Is this the best you got, AssupRidee, DEM, DOTY 2013-2014? Really? You've fallen on some hard times, my lonely, attention seeking friend. Get out of the basement. Get some sun. Enjoy life a little rather than sulking alone about how everyone thinks you're an asshole. It won't change anything, but you might feel better.

No, not as it were.

It is a JD degree. No such thing as a Juris DoctorATE. Not by anybody's description. Not even by a dummy chunker like you.

Keep arguing. You keep losing.

Dipshit of the year is coming up. will you nominate yourself again, DOC?

LMAO @ defrocked fraud!

You keep getting your ass handed to you and you come back for more.

whiny, you epitomize failure, as a poster and a barrister!

[CuteOldGuy]

You haven't handed me anything, AssupRidee, DEM, DOTY 2013-2014, except further evidence of your ignorance and irrelevance. Go ahead. Remain stupid. It suits you.
