States that admit non-ABA accredited law school grads?

In California, you just have to sit for the "baby-bar" after your first year as a law student if you go to a non-ABA accredited school. The details are http://calbar.ca.gov/state/calbar/calbar_generic.jsp?cid=14049&id=33564. There may be other ways to practice in CA, but I'm not sure what they are. I've worked with and known a lot of attorneys here that did not go to ABA-accredited schools.

http://www.vermontjudiciary.org/lc/masterpages/bbe-faqs.aspx, but it's a fair amount of work. Vermont has a “law office study” program to satisfy educational requirements in lieu of graduation from an approved law school. It requires not less than four years of study. That study is done in the law office and under the supervision of a Vermont attorney who has been admitted for at least three years at the time study commences.... With the approval of the Supreme Court and subject to the discretion of the Board, a four-year program can also be completed by: (1) Attendance at an approved law school and not less than two years of law office study in Vermont, or (2) Graduation or attendance at an unapproved law school and not less than two years of law office study in Vermont, or (3) Law office study in another state that has an established program of law office study leading to admission and not less than two years of law office study in Vermont, or (4) Admission in a foreign nation that is a common law jurisdiction and not less than two years of law office study in Vermont.

I couldn't find a more updated version.

I was thinking there might be some online JD programs that were bar accredited, but looking at http://www.elearners.com/guide-to-online-education/online-law-degree.asp it looks like there are none, but that California allows people to sit for the bar who have taken online courses. That article has a lot of information on passing the bar without an accredited JD.

I was thinking there might be some online JD programs The ABA, if I recall correctly, requires X number of hours of in-classroom study such that an online law school cannot ever be accredited under current guidelines.

My uncle went to an un-accredited law school in CA and did the whole baby-bar thing and now is a successful family law attorney.
