Sciences Po is a bit frowned upon by Assas and the Sorbonne professors as it’s a « School » rather than an « University », however they recognize that it is a good school ! But they might (I think they will but I don’t know anyone who went from ScPo to Assas or the Sorbonne so I can’t say for sure), even upon accepting you, ask you to enter a Licence 3 rather than a Master 1. If that’s what happens however you’ll automatically be accepted in M1 in this university after you pass the L3, so it’s not a catastrophy if that is really what you want ! Once you’re in, you’re in until the end of M1 as long as you pass ! (For a M2 the competition is rough but being already in the University helps tremendously)
You should however take as much law-related classes as you can during your undergrad, it would help a lot
While what Christelle said is true, it’s mostly true for Master 2, the competition for M1 is much less difficult and I know plenty of foreign students that went into very good M1. If you have a French education (that will be Sciences po in your case) there’s no reason no M1 (or most surely L3 as I said) would take you!
I’d add that Sciences Po is a perfectly good choice to conduct law studies ! While The Academia (TM) might not like it very much, it is a very good school with good degrees and it’s really recognized by professionals ! You can very well stay in Sciences Po during the entirety of your cursus and have an awesome career ! While Assas and the Sorbonne are indeed better for law studies, ScPo is a very good challenger, you should not completely exclude staying there.
« Droit à distance » would depend on the context but I’ll say that it is about a degree that you obtain without going to school except maybe once or twice a year for finals (courses materials, exams, etc. would be in this case sent to you). Is it maybe about the CAVEJ formation ?
