After six years of dedicated legal training, Kim Kardashian recently celebrated a significant milestone: graduating from law school. This accomplishment, celebrated with her family and mentors, marks a pivotal moment in her journey to become a lawyer. Kardashian, who did not attend a traditional four-year college, pursued her legal education through California’s Law Office Study Program, an apprenticeship-based pathway that allows aspiring lawyers to “read the law” under the guidance of practicing attorneys. This rigorous program required her to commit 18 hours a week, 48 weeks a year, for six straight years – amounting to over 5,000 hours of legal study.
Kardashian’s path was not without its challenges. She famously failed the “baby bar” exam, formally known as the First-Year Law Students’ Examination, three times before successfully passing it on her fourth attempt in 2021. This perseverance, alongside balancing motherhood, managing her various businesses, and filming her reality television show, has been widely lauded by her mentors and supporters. They praised her “fierce desire to fight for justice” and her unwavering determination in the face of obstacles, proving that non-traditional routes to a legal career are possible with enough dedication.
With this graduation, Kim Kardashian is now one step closer to her goal of becoming a licensed attorney in California. She has successfully completed the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE) and is now eligible to take the highly challenging California Bar Exam. Her journey has been inspired by her late father, Robert Kardashian Sr., a renowned attorney. Kim has already made significant strides in criminal justice reform, advocating for incarcerated individuals and working to commute sentences. Her graduation signals her continued commitment to this field, with aspirations to even open her own successful law firm in the future.
