Yes he does, but decided it was not his cup of tea so went for his business degree. He graduated with honors in both cases.

The man does not have fail in his vocabulary.

Romney still wanted to pursue a business path, but his father advised him that a law degree would be valuable to his career.[59][60] Thus he became one of only fifteen students to enroll at the recently created joint Juris Doctor/Master of Business Administration four-year program coordinated between Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School.[61] Fellow students considered him guilelessly optimistic, noting his solid work ethic and buttoned-down demeanor and appearance.[61][62] He readily adapted to the business school's pragmatic, data-driven case study method of teaching, participated in class well, and led a study group whom he pushed to get all A's.[60] He had a different social experience from most of his classmates, since he lived in a Belmont, Massachusetts house with Ann and two children.[47][60] He was non-ideological and did not involve himself in the political or social issues of the day.[47][60] He graduated in 1975 cum laude from the law school, in the top third of that class, and was named a Baker Scholar for graduating in the top five percent of his business school class.[57][61]

but he never practiced law.....

I’d bet that the JD was to the MBA as, in a saner world, a .45 would be for a walk on Chicago streets.

Yes. And Mrs. Ryan is a lawyer too.

Yes, Romney has a law degree but doesn’t work as a lawyer.
