"In the United States, the degree may be conferred in Latin as Juris Doctor or in English as Doctor of Jurisprudence" (wikipedia)

No obstante y si me lo permites, te recomendaré que uses el término latino (el título de Juris Doctor). La razón es que se podría confundir con el grado de doctorado, fíjate:

The existence of the S.J.D. has sometimes caused confusion. For example, it is claimed that since a doctorate is the highest degree in a university,[113] and the J.D. is not a terminal degree,[114][115] the J.D. is therefore not a doctorate. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juris_Doctor)
