Joel gracias y te deseo un buen fin de semana
disagree Alicia Añino : "J.D." would be a "doctorado en jurisprudencia," and "Ph.D." would be a "doctorado en filosofía"

LL.B. (bachillerato en leyes), Hons B.L.(bachillerato de honores), Ph.D. (doctorado en filosofía)

I would leave the degree acronyms as they are and add a parenthesis after describing what they are in Spanish.

Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) - "bachillerato en leyes"
LL.M. - "maestría en leyes"
B.L. - "bachillerato en leyes" but this is not the common acronym used in the U.S.
Hons - honors degree

Ph.D. - "doctorado en/de filosofía" o "doctorado en/de investigación"

Verito,

Ver ref. en wikipedia:
The Bachelor of Laws (abbreviated LL.B., LLB or rarely Ll.B.) is an undergraduate, or bachelor, degree in law (or a first professional degree in law, depending on jurisdiction) offered in most common law countries as the primary law degree and which originated in England.[1] It was established as a labour arts degree,[2] which requires that the student undertake a certain amount of study of the classics.[1] Nonetheless, the goals of most LL.B. programs are to provide a scholarly education, and therefore jurisdictions which offer the LL.B. require additional education or training before a graduate is authorized to practice law.[3] In English-speaking Canada it is sometimes referred to as a post-graduate degree because previous university education is usually required for admission. The "LL." of the abbreviation for the degree is from the genitive plural legum (of lex, legis f., law), thus "LL.B." stands for Legum Baccalaureus in Latin. In the United States it was sometimes erroneously called "Bachelor of Legal Letters" to account for the double "L" (and therefore sometimes abbreviated as "L.L.B.").

The United States is the only common law country that no longer offers the LL.B. While the LL.B. was conferred until 1971 at Yale University, since that time, all universities in the United States have awarded the professional doctorate J.D.,[4] which then became the required degree for the practice of law.[5]
