And a doctors of law degree is almost always a honorary degree. I wonder why they picked law for that. The [[Doctor of Laws]] article doesn't explain it.
But [[honorary degree|honourary degree]] does - apparently at many American universities, LLD is only given on an honorary basis.
I would have expected Jimbo to get a Doctorate of Letters, if they were going to give him an honourary degree, that would be the more usual thing for someone like Jimbo (see [[Doctor of Letters]]).
