Other than it being technically a doctorate, what is the practical difference between this and the MLS?  The MLS doesn’t come with the strange explanation of non-bar qualifying, and there are plenty out there now from perfectly good schools if 33k is in your price range for a degree that comes with more questions than it answers when listed on the CV.

Are you asking the difference between a JD and an MLS?  If so, the JD will typically qualify you to practice as an Attorney.  The Masters in Legal Studies does not.  It is typically a degree earned by someone in business who wants to become more familiar with the Law and legal practices..  You do not need a JD in order to be admitted to an MLS program.
