Los Angeles, California — Kim Kardashian, the reality television star turned business mogul, recently celebrated the completion of her Law Office Study Program, marking a significant milestone in her unconventional journey toward becoming a lawyer. While she has reached this educational achievement, she is not yet licensed to practice law.
Kardashian embarked on this legal path in 2019, motivated by her commitment to criminal justice reform. Over the years, she has advocated for the release of nonviolent offenders and has engaged with several inmates to discuss clemency and justice reform, including high-profile cases such as those of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and the Menendez brothers.
At 44, Kardashian announced that she graduated from her studies, which took her six years to complete due to various commitments, including the COVID-19 pandemic. As a mother of four and a successful entrepreneur with brands like Skims, her achievement in balancing multiple responsibilities while pursuing a legal education is notable.
To be eligible for a law license, Kardashian must pass the challenging California bar exam. She previously passed the California First-Year Law Students’ Exam, commonly referred to as the “baby bar,” after four attempts in 2021. She has also completed the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam, a necessary step for bar admission in numerous jurisdictions across the country.
Kardashian marked her graduation with a private gathering at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The celebration featured personalized details reflecting her studies, including placemats made from her flashcards and latte art crafted into graduation caps. Attendees included Jessica Jackson, an attorney who has guided Kardashian through her studies, who called her journey exceptionally inspiring.
Jackson noted that Kardashian dedicated approximately 18 hours a week for six years to her studies, under California’s alternative legal education system, which allows students to learn under the guidance of a practicing lawyer or judge. Kardashian’s son, Psalm, honored his late grandfather, Robert Kardashian, a respected attorney, by wearing a suit inspired by him during the event.
As Kardashian looks to the future, she may soon prepare for the bar exam, taking an important step closer to her goal of becoming a lawyer.
