JD can go after a lawyer's name, but it is usually only used in academic settings. Even though a legal degree is a doctorate, you do not usually address law degree holders as "doctor." Lawyers do not normally put Esq. after their name and many attorneys consider it old-fashioned.
Moreover, the law does have a true PhD equivalent (or better), the largely unknown and rarely conferred Doctor of Juridical Science, (SJD or JSD), generally offered by law-school invitation and requiring many years' research and writing. (And the SJD recipient is indisputably entitled to use the title âDoctor.â)Feb 27, 2020

Instead, lawyers think of all the possibilities to reach their conclusion, because if they only look at an argument from one side, they will miss their opponentâs perspective. Thereâs nothing wrong with being confident in your side, but it should be tempered with flexibility.
Not to mention, youâre constantly barraged with pages upon pages of reading, extracurricular activities, pressures to âsucceed,â and the hunt for a job. If you can strike a healthy balance between humility and self-confidence, as suggested by Shoemaker, this is your calling for a career in law.
Lawyers get paid to talk. They make their money speaking in front of large courtrooms, in front of people who judge (quite literally) everything they say. If youâre meek and soft-toned, youâll have a more difficult time convincing others of your point. On the other hand, if you project your voice with poise and confidence, your audience will interpret that self-assuredness as credibility.
A really good trial lawyer is very selective about the type of client he accepts. A case like this will take two to three years to resolve one way or another.
