To be honest, the SJD/JSD (the real legal doctoral degree) is purely a sign of someone who wasn't good enough at writing/publishing to get into legal academia without one, so it's actually more embarrassing than impressive. Most legal academics don't have one (in contrast to a PhD in other fields) because it is largely a waste of time.
JDs are not really doctoral degrees to begin with, as any lawyer with any degree of humility will admit. (I have one.)
