The professional degree necessary for one to become an attorney is formally known as a Juris Doctorate, or JD. This information pertains to those interested in becoming certified by a bar association in the United States and may differ in foreign countries.

Once they have a JD, they can continue school and obtain an LLM or Masters in the Letters of Law.
