2. Edwards, Hillary and Obama all have law degrees

9. Law degree is a doctorate.

That's ninety semester hours of classes for a Juris Doctor, or Doctor of Jurisprudence as it's called in English.

It's also incredibly difficult compared to college. At least I thought it was, and I had grown up around the law business, and worked in the legal field all my working life. And been told how smart I was my whole life. Law school brought me down several notches.

They call him "Doctor Paul." Don'tknow about anybody else besides the lawyers Giuliani, Clinton and Obama who have lawyer degrees, or Jurisdoctorites.
