Doctors of jurisprudence are abbreviated J.D., they are degrees awarded after three years of graduate study at law schools, mostly in America, and they are always in law, and typically do not require a dissertation, they enable the holder to sit for a U.S. bar exam when they're awarded by an American Bar Association approved law school. - PhDs are doctors of philosophy but they can be in any academic field (though in America, they are not awarded in law, but PhDs may be awarded in law in other countries that do not have JDs), they require dissertations and typically last 4-6 years depending on the subject (though maybe awarded in 3 years in the UK). People awarded a PhD. may be addressed as "doctor" but people with J.D.s are not addressed as "doctor."
