JD 只是一個學士學位，程度類似 LLB，JD 畢業後要先讀PCLL，再實習，才可以成為 barrister/solicitor.

"Juris Doctor" 是拉丁文 "Law Teacher" 的意思，和「博士」無關。持有 JD 學位也不可以自稱 "Dr." 或 "博士"。(It is not customary for JD graduates to use the title “Doctor”, Source: from CUHK FAQ)

如果普通人家就要俾心機讀書，至少中英普兩文三語流利，仲要醒醒目目肯捱肯學，唔好一開口就話要work life balance，唔係咪駛旨意有運行！

誤會了！馬英九在哈佛大學讀的是S.J.D. 而不是 J.D.！不要將博士程度的 S.J.D. (Doctor of Juridical Science) 和 學士程度的 J.D. 混為一談。

馬英九在哈佛大學讀的是Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D.), 中文譯作「司法學博士」或「法學博士」. S.J.D. 是貨真價實的博士學位。 "The J.S.D., or S.J.D. is a research doctorate, and as such it is generally accepted as equivalent to the more commonly awarded research doctorate, the Ph.D. It is considered the "most advanced law degree" by Harvard Law School."

無論哪間大學 "Juris Doctor (JD)" 都是低於 LLM (法學碩士) 和PCLL 的學位，程度和LLB一樣。

和LLB的不同在於：JD的申請人一般已有一個非法律的學位 (e.g. BA, BSc)，所以，以往JD譯作「學士後法律學士學位」。JD 的畢業生不可自稱「博士」，亦不能用「Dr.」作  prefix. (It is not customary for JD graduates to use the title “Doctor”, Source: from CUHK FAQ)

小心不要將  JD  和  S.J.D. / LLD / Ph.D   這些真正的博士學位混淆。

PCLL or LLM is one of the "Further study options" of JD.

If you only look at the units of law subjects, or duration of study, then you should choose LLB instead.

LLB: 4 years, 127 units (90 units of law subjects, 37 credits consisting of General Education courses, Language requirements, Physical Education, IT and non-law electives).

Admission requirements of LLM: a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree or a degree of equivalent standing (normally in a non common law jurisdiction)...

I repeat that LLM in Common Law and JD are with the same level.

LLM in Common Law  [excluding "Common Law: Origins and Development"] is only a subset of JD

All the courses of LLM in Common Law are included in the courses of JD but not the other way round. JD students can choose from more electives. Of course, students can choose different electives.

Using such logic, you can say: "LLB and LLM in Common Law are with the same level. LLM in Common Law is only a subset of LLB. All the courses of LLM in Common Law are included in the courses of LLB but not the other way round."

Furthermore, if you compare the subjects of JD and LLB, you may also say that "JD is only a subset of LLB".

I did not only compare the name of individual courses. The courses available for LLM in common law [except "Common Law: Origins and Development"] are also available for JD. They are exactly the same courses. For example, a JD and an LLM students, if taking a course called Principles of contract at the same time, may sit at the same classroom together and listen to the same professor for the same course.
