Los Angeles, California — Kim Kardashian is making significant strides toward her goal of becoming an attorney, having recently celebrated the completion of an apprenticeship program. Rather than following a traditional path through law school, Kardashian chose to participate in California’s Law Office Study Program, which allowed her to gain legal experience under the mentorship of a practicing attorney.
Kardashian, 44, began her apprenticeship at a San Francisco law firm in 2018. Completing the program demands a minimum of four years of commitment, though she extended her training to six years, likely due to the challenges she faced in passing the state’s “baby bar” exam. Shaheen Manshoory, a criminal defense attorney from Los Angeles, explained that Kardashian took the exam several times before achieving success on her fourth attempt in 2021. “It’s not an easy test,” Manshoory noted, underscoring the difficulties faced by candidates outside of accredited law schools.
The “baby bar” assesses knowledge of fundamental legal concepts across three disciplines, contrasting with the traditional bar exam, which encompasses fourteen areas of law. This distinction illustrates the substantial preparation required for the California state bar exam, known for being one of the most rigorous in the United States. Now that Kardashian has successfully passed both the “baby bar” and the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE), she is eligible to take the final step in her journey to becoming a licensed attorney.
Kardashian marked the culmination of her apprenticeship with a private ceremony at the Beverly Hills Hotel, sharing her celebration via social media. She wore a graduation cap and proudly reflected on her journey, posting photographs and videos of the event. Her mentor, Jessica Jackson, praised Kardashian’s dedication, highlighting her commitment of 18 hours a week over the past six years. Jackson described Kardashian’s legal journey as one of the most motivational she has ever observed, emphasizing the determination that drove her forward.
Kardashian’s journey has garnered support from various figures, including Ivanka Trump, who celebrated her friend’s achievement on Instagram. Trump shared a heartfelt message, expressing her excitement about Kardashian’s success.
As Kardashian prepares to tackle the California state bar exam, she faces one of her most significant challenges yet. The upcoming exam will test her knowledge and skills in a comprehensive manner, further solidifying her commitment to a legal career. The path she has chosen diverges from conventional routes and reflects her desire to effect change and fight for justice.
Kardashian’s venture into law ties into her broader interests in advocacy, particularly around issues such as criminal justice reform. With her widespread platform and influence, she aims to not just enter the legal field but to make meaningful contributions within it.
