I could be wrong but this process looks like it is geared towards attorneys who have a non ABA degree and are already licensed in a US or foreign jurisdiction.
Evidence of experience in the full-time practice of law. Such evidence should include, but is not be limited to, a sworn affidavit detailing the nature and extent of your legal work experience during the time you claim to have engaged in the full-time practice of law; legal memoranda prepared by you; copies of published cases resulting from pleadings and papers filed by you in your capacity as an attorney; and/or letters of reference from the bench and bar in the jurisdiction in which you have been engaged in the practice of law 383

According to the ABA Chart - graduates of unapproved (non DL) law schools (not state of ABA approved) may be eligible to take the bar in:
DC: Graduates of non-ABA-approved law schools can write the exam if they have successfully completed at least 26 semester hours in subjects tested on the DC bar exam from an ABA-approved law school. Looks like possibly also Guam but I have no further details on that. You would need to follow up with the Bar examiners in each jurisdiction for the details and ins and outs. 386

I agree in California, the law school won't make any difference if you have a post bar exam plan. Real clients could care less about the attorney's education, they only want the job done economically.

Usually to do this, you have to study under an attorney or judge for a few years.
Actually never seen anyone get a license this way, who would want to be a slave to a judge or a lawyer for years, yuck! 388

Petitioning is the way to go, the Bar Examiners are usually unhelpful.
