    It may be that you will qualify under the DC rule. If you
    can get your JD online your ABA credits may satisfy the 26
    credit requirement of the DC test exception.

    In case you have not followed recent discussions on this
    board -- DC will allow an applicant to sit for the bar exam
    with 26 ABA credits in "bar tested subjects" (1L classes
    appears to be what that means) and any JD degree, whether
    ABA or not.

    However, ABA credits expire after 5 years for the purpose of
    graduation or transfer at any ABA school. It would be up to
    DC whether they would accept your old ABA credits in
    satisfaction of their 26 credit exception.
