Many years ago, said Chinese also don't understand JD what is the nature of the degree, literally translated, put the Jurist Doctor when the doctor, but I also estimate the few JD, more and more people read later JD, the legal profession to JD also have a very clear understanding of the industry, now everyone know, from the academic point of view JD is a master's degree, and from the point of view, is actually the undergraduate. USA JD actually like the domestic legal master JM, or master of laws at home is to learn USA JD, but the master of laws China far not American JD attractive, especially Chinese and law undergraduate, master of law neither fish nor fowl lead, but I think after the trend is gradually abolish a law degree, completely go USA Road, or master of law and undergraduate completely overlap.

Then again, with the JD degree whether can go to university teaching, in American, most professors are JD degrees, in China at present, most colleges and universities is to PhD, University of China all current emphasis in published papers, achievements, thus lays great emphasis on the theory foundation of basic skills, Dr. this is a book, no matter how have the ability to write, but JD is to practice.

But there are some college or some changes, for example, people's University School of law is a Chinese JD lecturer, you can go to the teachers' information in its home have a look, a little girl, bachelor's, JD USA University of Michigan. Faculty recruitment information inside the foreign economic and trade university law school also clearly shows that JD can also be considered, but emphasize the ability to research, published articles. From these a few schools recruitment requirements, future there will be more law school will recruit a good school JD. After all, this accords with the social and legal education development trend. In addition, to China running trend from foreign schools, later will also open to college, currently only Beijing International University fully to the JD education America came, other schools, such as Ningbo Nottingham, a Kaine University Suzhou, Liverpool, Shanghai New York University, and will be in Hongkong, Shenzhen Chinese at present, these are not legal education, if in the future the schools also offer legal education, China Elite Plus American elite JD estimation will also have the opportunity to.

In general, the long run read JD or very competitive, especially in the family conditions allow you can choose JD, Chinese undergraduate and JD is a total of six years, if read a traditional doctor at home to 4+2+3=9 years, so American can save three years, although the JD huge investment, but the three years of opportunity cost can also create a lot of value, and practice teaching are possible in the future.
