    We had several posts on this last week. This guy went to an ABA school to pick
    up the 26 credits as a 1L after graduating from West Coast. There is no
    question that a DL JD + 26 ABA credits will get you in to take the DC bar -- but
    the only way to get the 26 ABA credits is at a brick and mortar ABA 1L school.
    A DL or even brick and mortar LL.M will not get you the 26 ABA credits you need
    no matter how you try to interpret the LL.M classes.

    You will still have to do first year (1L) at an ABA school. CP can probably
    explain this better than I did.
