The JD is the equivalent of a DDS, DMD, or MD, in that it is a professional doctorate (requiring no dissertation) rather than a research doctorate. However, when used alone, the word doctorate is generally used to refer to a research doctorate.

There is no law degree which is equivalent to a master's degree. The standard law degree in the United States is the Juris Doctor (J.D.), which reuires three years of post bachelor's study rather than one or two. The Master of Laws (LL.M.) requires one or more years of study after the J.D.

Within the United State there is no choice. You must first earn a bachelor's degree with completion of all prerequisite coursework which will take approximately four years as a full-time student, and then three years of law school to obtain the Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree.

No, a bachelors degree in any field is an undergraduate degree. A masters degree is a post graduate degree. You must have an undergraduate degree before you can begin a post graduate degree (graduate school).

Since 1971, The Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) degree is no longer awarded in the United States. Instead, the Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree is awarded. It requires three years of post bachleor's study, unlike the one or two years required by most master's degrees.

The law degree is a Juris Doctor (JD) degree and specific for those who seek to practice law. A PhD is a general degree type (doctorate) from which many specific programs of study fall. For example A PhD in communications, psychology, engineering, etc. The doctorate degree is the highest level of educational attainment.
