UVEG has that degree fully online and the school accepts foreigners. The full degree should cost around 1000 USD. Only issue is the language barrier. You need at the narest minimum B2 Spanish to understand the zoom classes and write essays and read text. The obligatory in person social service 4 month internship can be done at any mexican embassy or consulate worldwide, and the US has one of those in most major cities. Only other hurdle with this school is the 10 month wait for the digital diploma.

If it is true California is friendly to any international law graduate, this is just one of many affordable mexican options including using the Acuerdo 286 challenge exam (which not be a good option here because while the degree would be fully valid in Mexico, it might be really hard to convince the California Bar you did graduate with genuine effort, just that there is no university name as such on the diploma).
I have an undergrad degree already - it's just about being able to practice law in the US, which means sitting for the Bar in any state (such as by being an attorney in any country in the world, or by graduating an ABA or CalBar school).
The exam in Mexico is news to me, that's very interesting! If only I spoke Spanish! You really could become a lawyer in the US + Mexico a few months from now, that's wild. Any chance you've heard of anything like this in English-speaking countries?
