I guess, as with many good legal questions, the answer is, "it depends." In the Middle East, you absolutely would use "Dr." because here, you would want to distinguish between the undergraduate law degree (which is what is required to practice law) and a graduate law degree. In Germany, about ten percent of lawyers hold a Doctor of Laws degree (requiring a thesis and oral exam beyond the master's level work it takes to become a lawyer). They use the title Dr.
In the US, JDs don't use the title Dr., but SJDs (Doctors of Juridical Science, the terminal degree for the study of law, after the JD and the LLM) do.
