Doctor v. Esquire Forum

[Anonymous User]

Awesome, so I was right (there are lawyers who call themselves Doctors, as befitting their education and background) and the others here were wrong ("no lawyers without an MD or PhD calls him or herself a Doctor"). You sound pretty angry with this punching business, I would consider lowering your blood pressure.

Thanks for the diagnosis, doc!

Hmmmmmm, you seem to suffer from "I Think Anonymous Strangers on Internet Forums Are Wrong" Syndrome.

Wasn't there a very recent controversy about Dr Jill Biden?

Or am I listening to the Ben Shapiro podcast too much.

She has a doctorate in education which is a joke of a degree (takes 2 years weekends only) but it's standard for people in education like principals or cc teachers to go by Dr with a DEd. Conservatives decided to troll; liberals called them sexists, everyone had a fun news cycle playing their traditional roles.

She did at least write a 136 pp dissertation for the degree, which is more than JDs do.

Mods, just lock this thread.

Agreed. It would be best put out of its misery.

I am sure it was cutting edge research befitting a 125+ IQ scholar, as fellow Doctors we can all agree on that. U. Del is just a hub of intellectual activity.

I mean you’ve already shown yourself to be a fount of ill-informed bad opinions, so keep going.

Also you’re not even the JD kind of doctor so I don’t know what “we” you’re talking about.

Got it, some education hack degree that is a glorified jobs program for Delaware's finest merits the Doctor title but YLS is suspect. Because Lawgic.

"JD kind if [sic] doctor" thanks for acknowledging the JD holders are doctors too.

[nixy]

No one has contested that the degree is a Juris Doctor. That’s just not the same as calling yourself doctor professionally. Nor does calling yourself doctor have anything to do with educational chops - there are plenty of hack PhDs and MDs who can use the title, and plenty of brilliant professional degree holders who can’t. I don’t get why you’re railing at social conventions as if they have some substantive meaning. Go ahead and call yourself doctor once you get your JD if you like, that’s not going to change the fact that social conventions mean you will look like a pretentious ignorant tryhard.

(Because I’m a boomer in spirit I do have FB and that 113 person group from 2011 or whenever it was no longer exists.)

Phew, that was a mouthful! That FB group may have served its purpose now that enough literature is out there on the matter.

All I did was ask when it can make sense to go by Doctor, and I gave a few examples. I would not be so closed minded on the question. Surely, there are situations to do it.

OP obviously is trolling. C’mon, y’all

OP's voice and style are pretty similar to Dooley. Too bad we'll never know if Tampa lawyers drum up medmal cases by introducing themselves as doctors.

You clearly weren’t paying enough attention, Dooley was a confirmed troll and wasn’t actually real (iirc he’s a third-year in NYC). This could easily be the same guy.

He was also a sockpuppet, the creation of the same guy who made up Johnny B Goode or whatever his username was. This one sounds kind of the same, though, in insisting that things that aren't real actually are. That's been a pretty consistent thread throughout his fake accounts.

Edit: scooped. FTR it was this guy: memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=256455

That dissertation involved less critical thinking than a median 1L exam at Cooley.

Less value to society too. Wasn’t her thesis on how to keep dumb students in community colleges (so they can keep being indebted with no skills)?

Lol, you do know the mouth breathers trying to play football at junior “college” pocket pell grant money for it right? And fail out six weeks in once it clears? The whole thing is a charade and hires midwits like Jill. At least a Cooley midterm taker doesn’t demand we call him or her a doctor.

Not mad. If we have to pay for the proles then I’m glad they have a poor track record.
