Date: June 27th, 2004 10:34 AM Author: silver filthpig national Yes, you can definitely teach UG with a JD. However, you'll most likely be teaching business classes, and you might have to be an adjunct (i.e. - non-tenure) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=50152&forum_id=2#822274) |

Date: June 27th, 2004 2:12 PM Author: Cerise multi-billionaire psychic It's rare, at least at reputable universities. One of the factors in the undergrad US News rankings is what % of classes are taught by PhDs (unless they've changed the formula since I applied).

Date: June 27th, 2004 7:53 PM Author: fragrant peach dysfunction My understanding was that "PhD" is just their shorthand for "doctorate," so PhilDs, MDs, JDs, ThDs, DBAs etc. meet the US news criteria. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=50152&forum_id=2#824698) |

Date: June 27th, 2004 8:01 PM Author: Laughsome double fault I think that it is actually shorthand for the terminal degree in a field. JD wouldn't qualify for that. I could be wrong, though. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=50152&forum_id=2#824768) |

Date: June 27th, 2004 8:14 PM Author: 180 sick roommate site JD stands for "Juris Doctor", not "Doctorate". People with JD's are not in a position to go around calling themselves "Dr." as a MD or PhD grad may do freely. A JD, like an MBA, is a *professional* degree (read: trade school), it's not an academic degree.
PhD's undergo years of intensive independant research (sometimes 8-10 yrs), ultimate culminating in a dissertation which must be defended by a panel of scholars in the field. JD's have no such exhaustive requirement.
So basically no, JD's do not meet the USNews "PhD" criteria, and in answering the OP, it's rare to find JD's teaching at universities, and if they are, it's only as adjuncts or visiting profs. JD's cannot be tenured professors, as they do not have the proper credentials. |

Date: June 27th, 2004 10:08 PM Author: fragrant peach dysfunction You sound as passionate at Onizuka on this topic. I didn't advocate calling them "doctors," and I'm not stupid - I know what PhD's go through. And as far as their 5+ years of getting the degree being "intensive," I guess that just depends on what their PhD, where they got it, and how much of a slack-ass their advisor allowed them to be.
Quote from USNews on the topic is this: "We also weigh the proportion of professors with the highest degree in their fields (15 percent of the score)" I'll bet that the law schools and undergrads that fill out USNews surveys count a JD as the "highest" degree in the field notwithstanding the LLM and SJD - after all law schools wouldn't want to sacrifice points.

Date: June 27th, 2004 10:15 PM Author: Cerise multi-billionaire psychic The JD is clearly not the highest degree in the field. It's the LOWEST. This should be obvious.
"after all law schools wouldn't want to sacrifice points."
They don't. The law school rankings don't include this component. |

Date: June 27th, 2004 10:25 PM Author: fragrant peach dysfunction I was wrong about the law rankings. You're right.

Date: June 28th, 2004 7:15 PM Author: 180 sick roommate site Keep in mind that America is the only country where a law degree is considered a "graduate" degree. In most countries law in an undergrad concentration, and people can practice law fresh out of college.
Not that this adds much to the discussion, but its just meant to point out that a garden-variety law degree (without an LLM or SJD specialization) isn't necessarily anything to tip your hat at, and certainly doesn't garner as much respect as those who devote the years to acquiring a PhD. |

You cannot compare U.S. vs. international law schools, since they are completely different animals. French law schools require intensive work experience (one year of work at a firm after your first year, then another year of work after your third year,) and so the focus is much more real world and much less classroom. U.S. is the only place that primarily teaches law through the socratic method, though Japan is starting some "American-style" LS there.

There's nothing in Nutella's post that indicates that anything you've wrote in your OP is news to her. However, as ewelty points out, there is a post by someone else above that does state that JD's can't be tenured. You could have simply pointed that out instead of behaving like a petulant jackass.
However given the frequency with which you post non sequiturs, I'm beginning to doubt whether you ever bother to read more than the thread title before dumping your verbal diarrhea. |

Date: June 29th, 2004 8:24 PM Author: Startled National Security Agency Parlor "You could have simply pointed that out instead of behaving like a petulant jackass"
The conclusion would have been the same. I'm glad you agree.
"given the frequency with which you post non sequiturs"
I don't think you know what "non sequitur" means. Please, never again use a term until you know what it means or you are inquiring about its meaning. |
|
Date: June 29th, 2004 8:25 PM Author: Cerise multi-billionaire psychic It means you post shit that is irrelevant to the discussion or debate at hand.
EDIT: I suppose you will object that this is not the technical definition of "non sequitur," but it is in line with the common usage.
HTH |
|
Date: June 29th, 2004 8:27 PM Author: Startled National Security Agency Parlor No, actually it doesn't mean that. It refers specifically to conclusions that do not follow logically from the preceding premises. In short, it means "does not follow." It does not mean "irrelevant." It comments on logical relationships among propositions.
I told you to look it up. |
|
Date: June 29th, 2004 8:28 PM Author: Cerise multi-billionaire psychic See my edit. People often use the term to mean "something out of left field." (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=50152&forum_id=2#845561) |

|
Date: June 29th, 2004 8:33 PM Author: Cerise multi-billionaire psychic Unlike "irregardless," which is a mistaken and unnecessary conflation of two words, use of the term "non sequitur" in this context is, in my view, not an error but a reasonable extension of the original meaning.
I'd love to argue about this more, but I'm off now. Flame away (not that you need any encouragement). |
|
Date: June 29th, 2004 8:42 PM Author: Startled National Security Agency Parlor "...not an error but a reasonable extension of the original meaning."
No, if you're going to use Latin terms about logic, don't try to make yourself look smarter than you are. Don't fuck up and misuse words. Sometimes someone will call you on your bullshit.
"I'd love to argue about this more, but I'm off now."
Do be sure to bring back some more misused logic terms when you return. |

Now at both major state universities, Iowa and Iowa State their are loads of hotties though Iowa seems to have a deeper roster of sluts because the majority of their student body comes from Chicago.
I actually live in Chicago now and am disappointed by the women here, don't get me wrong there some hotties, but its certainly not better than it was in undergrad, except the bitches are more stuck-up here.

i don't know much about community colleges and comprehensive universities. it is probably easier to teach there with a jd. but why would you want to? no time to do research, weaker student body, and really low salaries. |
|
Date: June 30th, 2004 10:34 AM Author: plum juggernaut I don't know where you come up with these categorical statements. Sure, you're better off with a PhD, but presumably if you are looking to teach with a JD, you are looking to teach law or law related classes. And a) there just aren't that many qualified JD/PhD candidates who want to teach at UG, and b) there aren't many PhD/non-JD candidates qualified to teach these classes.

Date: June 30th, 2004 11:00 AM Author: plum juggernaut Hmmm...I respectfully disagree. I took some classes with both, and I found the profs with JDs to be much more knoweldgeable. The ones w/out JDs were really poor on the legal side of it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=50152&forum_id=2#849849) |

Date: June 30th, 2004 12:02 PM Author: irradiated hell this is not a traditional arts and sciences dept. it is an interdisciplinary unit that draws professors from other departments (sociology, polisci) and schools (law). you'll notice that virtually all the profs who only have a JD have a primary appointment with the law school. the ones with PhDs and PhD/JDs are drawn from FAS-type depts.
i don't mean to perpetuate an argument here, just trying to be helpful that's all. |

Date: June 30th, 2004 4:07 PM Author: indigo stirring dilemma Not that this applies to most would-be UG teachers, but at Harvard, profs in any field can be appointed University Professors, which means they can teach in any school, including the college. Michelman and Tribe, who only have JDs, are University Professors. Horwitz, with only a JD, has taught a course in Harvard's undergrad Core.

Date: June 30th, 2004 4:11 PM Author: irradiated hell correct. this is a truly exceptional honor, however. it certainly does not apply to folk wondering if they can get a job teaching at a good polisci dept with a JD. people like tribe, sandel etc. are at the very top of their fields, and they do get to teach wherever they want because they've already made significant achievements in their own field.

Date: April 19th, 2005 5:24 AM Author: Marvelous Pink Tanning Salon there's a constitutional law course at my school taught by a prof. from the faculty of law & a lawyer. It happens. It's also a very popular course because all the prelaws take it expecting to get the prof. to write a rec. As it's a top law school as well, it would be quite a good rec...

Date: April 19th, 2005 12:56 PM Author: Bat-shit-crazy nofapping sanctuary personal credit line Basically, if you want to teach undergrad, don't get a JD. Only get a JD if you actually want to be a lawyer. A lot of people on this board are still under the illusion that a JD is a flexible degree. They will learn soon enough.
