It seems like many of the Australian and Canadian law schools are starting to offer Juris Doctor degree. Does anybody know if there are any external programs out there? http://jd.law.unimelb.edu.au/
Monash University refers to Juris Doctor as Master of Laws. http://www.monash.edu.au/study/coursefinder/course/3387/ And the following was copied from RMIT University's website. http://www.rmit.edu.au/browse;ID=nle2pppng7qsz;STATUS=A;PAGE_AUTHOR=Mayukh%20Dutta;SECTION=1; This title, Juris Doctor, comes from the United States where it is a graduate entry three year law degree awarded by an accredited US law school. The Juris Doctor has been adopted for use in Australia for a postgraduate law program leading to entry to the legal profession, to differentiate the program from a Masters of Law which is seen as an advanced law program. The Juris Doctor (JD) is not a doctoral level award and graduates are not entitled to use the honorific title “Doctor”.
