Ah, gotcha. Even then, though, the ones I've known, though, have gone by Mr. or Ms., unless they had another doctorate. In my experience, there is a real avoidance of calling someone "Dr." based on a J.D., perhaps because it's a relatively recent degree and many, many lawyers (and judges) didn't have a J.D. And again, maybe it's a regional thing.
