Spanish term or phrase: Título de Abogado
Este es un diploma de Venezuela, y la universidad le confiere el título de "Abogado". Tengo dudas con la traducción, ya que tiene que encajar con el contexto de los Estados Unidos, y se que allá llaman al título de abogado como "J.D" (Juris Doctor) Mi duda es si se puede simplemente traducir como "he is conferred he degree Lawyer".

Muchas gracias

Titulo de Abogado – it means not mere possession of the academic degree of Bachelor of Laws but membership of the Bar after due admission thereto, qualifying one for the practice of law.
