The Juris Doctor, the basic U.S. law degree, is held by the vast majority of practicing U.S. lawyers, as well as businesspeople, policy makers, academics and people in other walks of life.
If you hold a law degree from a non-U.S. jurisdiction (a J.D. or its equivalent), you may qualify to receive a School of Law J.D. degree in just two years.
