The JD degree IS a terminal degree. There is no basis for saying otherwise. The New York statute that was invoked by another editor does not support the contention that it is not a terminal degree. The New York statute does differentiate between a research degree and a professional degree (by the way, it uses the term "professional" degree, as I do in my re-write, and not "first-professional").
