I'm aware that it's possible to sit for the bar exam in some states after a foreign LLB/JD provided you complete an US LLM.
However, I've checked the admission criteria for some US LLM programs and it doesn't seem as though they are willing to accept students with a LLB/JD completed via correspondence or distance learning (so California DL schools seems to be out too...). Anyone know of any schools that don't have this criteria?
LLM in US after DL law degree?

I cant say for sure, but Washington doesn't appear to specify the type of education for non-US lawyers, but apparrently requires admission to and experience in a common law jurisdiction
