This is a question for you attorneys out there. I received a business card from someone and after his name it said "JD". But it did not say "Attorney at Law". I was told that means that he has been disbarred. Is that true?
That's not quite accurate. JD is a postgraduate degree requiring three years of post-baccalaureate study. In the academic community it is considered an earned doctorate, more than a master's, but less than a PhD. At UMES it was enough to get you a tenure track position beginning as an assistant professor.I understand that JD is basically a degree like BA or BS.

Our younger careers.I thought a JD was a juvenile delinquent.
No. It’s not indicative of being disbarredSo my initial question still stands: If his business card says JD but not Attorney at Law, does that imply that he is inactive, disbarred or something else?
