Dr. is the appropriate title for an M.D. only. Every other jackass these days has a useless Ph.D. Tom Send a noteboard - 06/02/2013 03:55:46 PM
And I've never, ever seen a lawyer referred to as "Dr.". Sometimes the more pretentious ones like to put Esq. after their name, but it just looks sad in my opinion. The only formality that really properly applies to lawyers is that, in the courtroom setting, the proper address is "counselor".
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
