In the article "UDC cronyism in hiring decried" at http://www.washtimes.com/metro/20030711-102314-3668r.htm "...holds a juris doctor degree from University of Michigan Law School - which is equivalent to a master's degree, not a doctorate..." Is this true? IIRC, for the federal government, someone with a JD will be
a GS-11. Same thing for someone with a Ph.D. But a MA/MS will be GS-9. Mike
