I want to go into the FBI, and the website said "To qualify for the Law Critical Skill a candidate must qualify under the Law Entry Program (i.e., have a JD degree from a resident law school). " Could someone translate this into english for me? and what is a JD degree, how many years in college does it take to get one. Thanks!
 
JD stands for Juris Doctorate. The degree is earned by completing law school. At most accredited law schools in the US, a JD can be earned with full time study in three years. To be accepted into law school, you generally need a college degree (BS or BS) and you have to take the LSAT.
