Generally yes, you get one JD and that is it. Some people (very very few) go on to get an LLM in a specialized area (like tax) but of all our lawyer friends, I think we know about 5 who did that. Where your JD is from is going to be what matters because it's 99.999999999% likely to be your terminal degree.
