I think Professor, if they are indeed tenured is prefered.
I can't imagine not using the proper title to address a teacher. The idea of calling a Doctor or Professor, ?Mr.? just because you think you are too cool, really shows lack of maturity.

Because I know you are going to law school, you call them professors, unless they have Ph.D.'s.

Not all Doctors are Professors.
It goes something like this:
Graduate student - Mr.
PHD - Dr.
Get a job teaching at a college - lecturer (Dr.)
After a year or so - assistant Professor (Dr.)
*You make Tenure* - Associate Professor (this is where I think you really can be called Professor, but technically, you are not a professor)
10 years of distinguished teaching and publishing - Full Professor
Alumni donates a wad of cash in your name to the department - The Anand Lai Shimpi Professor of Computer Science

Haha, actually this was in reference to my last professor in college... Her website states Dr. West however I have been referring to her as Professor in class.
