What do you call law degrees & medical degrees?

Good old Google! This is the information I found on the internet:

Law degree: "Juris Doctor - J.D. or D.Jur, graduate degree and professional doctorate in law offered by universities and law schools in a number of countries. Law schools still call the law degree a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.). It is considered to be a graduate degree. The three year law school program covers the same areas of law as do law schools in other jursidictions. Update: Some Canadian law schools are now converting, retroactively, the LL.B. degree to  D.Jur." (from http://wiki.answers.com - click here to see the original page)

In Canada, a doctor will have an MD, which stands for Doctor of Medicine. According to Wikipedia, "In Canada, the M.D. is the basic medical degree required to practice medicine." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_of_Medicine)
