    graduate: Of, intended for, or relating to studies beyond a bachelor’s degree: graduate courses. (see http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=graduate)

    I see from your blog that you are currently in law school. Once you graduate from law school, you’ll find yourself filling out forms that ask the level of education you have completed. Those forms will not list “Degree from a Professional School” as an option beyond “Bachelor’s Degree,” so your options will be either to ignore your three years of law school or to select “Graduate Degree.”

    I’ve chosen to take the latter option.

    Does Law School count as “graduate” school? I always thought it was known as “Professional” school.

    But you see- I actually have a graduate degree- 2 of them. So, I will not have to skip it. But all these lawyers just may.. ;)

    I’m just kidding. It’s just weird because it has only been in the last fifty years that law school has been considered a graduate education, and it has all the characteristics of undergraduate degrees even still.

    One obvious such characteristic are the graduate degrees in law (LL.M., J.S.D.)- most law schools don’t list the J.D. under their “graduate” programs the last time I checked…

    But please take this tongue-in-cheek.

    Oh, I see the problem now: you’re overeducated. :)

    One of the symptoms of such overeducation is a focusing too hard on minutiae rather than looking at the the overall situation — you can’t see the forest for the degrees, so to speak. (Sorry, couldn’t resist the opportunity to pun.)

    A law degee no longer has all the characteristics of an undergraduate degree, but you probably meant to say “some.” And yes, while in the context of a law school, a JD is not a graduate degree and an LLM is, in the context of a university, a law degree is a graduate degree because it requires a bachelor’s degree as a precondition.
