He has a JD - doctorate in law.
NO. His highest degree is his law degree, the JD (Juris Doctorate). It is very different from a PhD in that is the first law degree and required only coursework.

Actually, at one time, the basic law degree was an LLB, or Bachelor of Legal Letters, followed by the LLM, Master of Legal Letters, followed by the LLD, Doctorate of Legal Letters. However, lawyers, being egotistical, decided that if mere physicians could call themselves "doctor" then they should be able to also. So, they changed the LLB to the JD, Juris Doctorate. What a surprise!! Lawyers got big egos. Who knew?
