The degree is a Juris Doctor and not a Juris doctorate. Some have said that a J.D. is useless without passage of the bar. That could not be further from the truth. There are entire articles and chapters in books published about alternative careers with the degree. From teaching to running fundraising and alumni directorships in liberal arts colleges to advising/consulting and running for political office, the possibilities abound.
