Help! How Do You Address Your Law Professor In Email?

Read it closer, taco, I don't think you actually got the OP's point.

If the Prof has a SJD, you might go with calling him Doctor but I think all of your bases are covered with a simple "Professor XYZ,"

And while most people with a JD don't go by doctor, I believe you technically can.

The ABA and most law schools frown upon that.

Wikipedia, in all of its glory, sheds a little light on this:

"The title "Doctor" is rarely used. The most likely explanation for this is that historically many aged experienced judges and law firm partners had LL.B. degrees and new lawyers had J. D. degrees from exactly the same law schools. Law is largely about politics, and a newbie telling the law firm owner or the judge, "Call me Doctor" would not go over well."

Actually, how would you address an associate professor formally in email?

would it be 'dear associate professor...' or maybe 'dear associate professor lastname..'?

or is their lastname sufficient because they're only an associate professor?

Have you ever heard someone address a professor as "Associate Professor?" "Excuse me, Associate Professor Smith, I have a question." "Professor Emeritus Brown, you're looking sharp in the suit sir. It covers your colostomy bag nicely." "Pardon me Adjunct Lecturer Jones. Do you have any Grey Poupon?"

Well there is one exception to my dude rule. When addressing black professors I usually write "Hey Bro." They really love that.

Administrations needs a cohesive, controllable unit. To ensure that the staff sticks together, it foments divisions like racism. On the other hand, bonding is the distraction used to patch splits due to racial differences. By dividing staff and simultaneously uniting them against students, administration hopes to create controllable staff members.
