California alone among American Bars does not require a law school education for Bar admission.
Internet law schools are crap. Sorry to be blunt. But I spent 9, arguably 10, years in law schools so I should have some right to an opinion. (And no, I never flunked anything; I studied in different countries.)

The only way to become a member of a state bar association (including California, where I live) is by passing the state bar exam -- just graduating from law school, even a big prestigious one, doesn't do it.
You can apply to take the state bar exam. Once you pass the state bar, you become a member of the bar association. Check out the link below for more information.

I'm not aware of any internet-based law school that is certified by the ABA. I think you are limited to taking the bar in only the state where you attend (or phsyically located), but only if the state board of examiners certifies the school. Basically, ABA-accredited = take the bar anywhere. Non-ABA-accredited school = only in state where it is located, but only if state-certified. You better check into that before you waste your money only to be ineligible to sit for the bar.

You don't have to go to any law school, if you don't want to.
You simply have to pass the bar exam in the state where you want to be admitted to the bar.
Most law firms won't hire someone without law school.

CONGRATS, I always wished I was smart enough to do something like that. I know how hard you must have worked, my sister in law is an attorney in Portland Oregon for State Farm Insurance, and she worked her butt off to get where she is at. Good luck in the future and enjoy your next two weeks, because soon you will be working 100 hour weeks to prepare for all the court appearances you will be making.

You'll have to pass your state bar for sure and weather or not they honor the school you'll have to contact the bar association to find out.
