Comment [s4]:
Footnote as follows will need to be added depending on decision re. the J.D.:
• the award of a Juris Doctor is an exception to the principle that the title 'doctor' should only be used for qualifications meeting the qualification descriptor for FHEQ level 8 / SCQF level 12 on the FQHEIS in full
• the Juris Doctor is not a doctoral qualification at level 8 of the FHEQ / SQCF level 12 but at level 6 of the FHEQ / SCQF level 10 on the FQHEIS (with some modules at level 7 of the FHEQ / SCQF level 11 on the FQHEIS)
• holders of the qualification are not entitled to use the title 'Dr.'
Most newspapers dispense with such formalities and on second reference call people only by their last names.
