Nothing technical about it. If she completed law school, she should have received a JD.
A friend's ex has his law degree (JD), but never passed the Bar in any state. Yet he managed to work as a lawyer for the Department of Labor for many years investigating pension plans, IIRC. He never litigated any cases, he merely did the leg work and wrote his reports that others in the department might act upon.
Some law schools award an LLB (Fellow of Law) degree instead of the JD. ;-)
