    Below is the current NC education requirements from the "Rules Governing the
    Admission to Practice Law in the State of North Carolina" (See the bar examiners
    website for NC) There are no DL law schools on the approved list including ABA
    DL schools that offer an LL.M degree. Please note that the requirement says
    EVERY APPLICANT not just foreign applicants and it says A LAW SCHOOL APPROVED by
    the state bar.

    Connecticut has a similar provision and their list of approved law schools has
    no DL schools listed. CA is the only state that allows DL students to sit for a
    first time bar exam. Everyone else will require a minimum of 3 years licensed
    practice if you don't have an ABA J.D. You can believe what you want, however;
    those considering a law school education should not be misled by wishful
    thinking that is not fact based.

    Section: .0702 LEGAL EDUCATION
    Every applicant applying for admission to practice law in the State of North
    Carolina, before being granted a license to practice law, shall prove to the
    satisfaction of the Board that said applicant has graduated from a law school
    approved by the Council of The North Carolina State Bar or that said applicant
    will graduate within thirty (30) days after the date of the written bar
    examination from a law school approved by the Council of the North Carolina
    State Bar. There shall be filed with the Secretary a certificate of the dean, or
    other proper official of said law school, certifying the date of the applicant's
    graduation. A list of the approved law schools is available in the office of the
    Secretary.
