There are several spreadsheets in my signature where you can start plugging in courses and see where you are at. There are plenty of exam options for the Social Sciences so I would lean in that direction if I were going into law, but this is simply a gut reaction without research.

This are the credits I have so far:
Does TESC accept 30 year old credits? I never bothered to check in the Catalog.
CLEPS Passed: 10 DSST Passed: 11 TECEPS: 1

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

Based on Lindagerr's experience, the answer is generally yes. There are some exceptions for more technical credits and degrees. Here are some threads on the subject:

Here is Excelsior College's policy for comparison:

I know that Washington State Bar Association allows legal apprenticeships in lieu of law school, but I'd heard it was a five year commitment. Is your internship paid and are you considered a Lawyer In Training? I'm asking because I have considered going this route as a replacement for law school, but I don't know any attorneys in Washington that would be the mentor/employer.
