Aren’t all Harvard Law degrees three years?
Not being sarcastic…I honestly don’t know. Everyone I’ve known that has gotten their JD has taken a three year course of studies.
“Everyone I’ve known that has gotten their JD has taken a three year course of studies.”
Harvard has four year degrees in their capacity, but stay tight on their unit count to apply a degree.
This might help as it can be confusing.

There are rules for getting a degree like MO’s.
Applicants typically need a prior bachelor’s degree in any field and an acceptable score on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT).
Full-time programs generally take three years to complete, though accelerated two-year options exist at some law schools.
The first year focuses on foundational subjects like civil procedure, contracts, torts, constitutional law, and criminal law, followed by specialized electives and practical clinical training.
And the doctor title is classified as a professional practice doctorate. Holders in the U.S. traditionally do not use the title “Doctor” in professional legal settings, instead relying on designations like “Esquire” or “Attorney at Law.” She didn’t really earn that either.
