Juris Doctor

Juris Doctor (not Juris Doctorate) is the correct term for a professional law degree.

JD is the abbreviation for Juris Doctor.

Juris Doctor is Latin for "teacher of law."

The terms Juris Doctor and Juris Doctorate are frequently and erroneously used interchangeably. Juris Doctorate is incorrect.

The Doctor

The Doctor is the last of his race, the Timelords, which was destroyed in the Time War. He was born in Gallifrey and travels through time and space in his TARDIS, which looks like a blue police box. Originally the TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimensions in Space) was able to change its appearance to blend in to its surroundings, but that feature has been long broken, much like many of its functions.

The Doctor often travels with companions. His greatest rival is The Master. His enemies are the Daleks.

He may sound like he's from the North, but in actuality, he's an alien, and lots of planets have a North for your information.

A doctress is a female doctor. It is an old word that is no longer used because of the general movement in the English language to be gender-neutral in specifying professions. This is akin to actress vs. actor (although more women prefer actor now)
