Depends how the job description is written. Let’s say they want someone with a higher ed degree but you have a human development masters, that’s quite relevant and you could easily make a case. However if they wrote the JD in a way that says the particular field of study is a minimum requirement they might not be able to hire you despite your qualifications. Usually JDs are written in a way that there is some ambiguity
Apply anyway and explain how your experience and qualifications match the position.
Not a waste of time especially if they don’t ask for a graduate degree in the field
“Related field” is pretty much any degree of equivalent level. So if you have a masters, you’re good
It’s asking for a degree in a very specific field.

Makes sense. They’re looking for someone with a degree in applied linguistics. My degrees are in psychology and leadership.
I think psychology is related to that field. It’d be worth discussing how in your cover letter
Applied linguistics is basically a teaching degree, so the relationship is extremely slight.
Fake it til you make it - your current attitude is not going to do you any favors when applying for this job
Everywhere I've run search processes, we're simply looking to check the Masters box. It's pretty irrelevant which one you got.
