After failing multiple times, Kim Kardashian earns her law degree after six years – here's what she plans to do next

Kim Kardashian has officially graduated with her law degree after six years of intense studying, balancing motherhood, business, and fame.

Her achievement was celebrated with a surprise graduation thrown by loved ones, included family and mentors. Kim's legal journey, from courtroom appearances to acing exams, has been inspiring and is far from over, as she has grand plans for what comes next.

What motivated Kim Kardashian to study law?

Kim Kardashian clarified that after becoming "dumbfounded" after viewing a video on Twitter, she decided to pursue a legal education.


Kardashian started law school in 2019. The former star of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" has been open about her development, acknowledging that she failed the "baby bar" exam three times before finally passing it in 2021.

On Wednesday, the creator of Skims celebrated her six-year law school graduation on her Instagram Story. She spoke at a private commencement ceremony attended by family and friends, saying, "All of you guys have been on this journey with me,” as per a report by Page Six.

Kardashian's graduation ceremony was unexpected, an insider told Us Weekly.

According to reports, the businesswoman's loved ones surprised her by telling her she would be going to a "regular family brunch." “They wanted to surprise her to celebrate this accomplishment because they are all excited and proud of her,” as per a report.

She was taken by surprise by her legal mentor's presence, as she had no idea that they'd be there.

How did she balance law school and her personal life?

One of her mentors referred to her legal career as "the most inspiring."

Kim Kardashian entered this program six years ago with nothing but a strong will to pursue justice.

"Just determination, no ivory tower shortcuts, no law school lectures," her mentor advised. Kardashian put in "18 hours a week, 48 weeks a year for six straight years." "That's 5,184 hours of legal study in total," she stated.

"She carved out that time while raising four kids, managing businesses, filming TV series, and appearing in court to speak up for others."

She posted a picture of her son Psalm West in a tan suit and tie that were modelled after his late grandfather, lawyer Robert Kardashian Sr.

In another picture, the 5-year-old was seen holding a briefcase, and Chicago West, Kardashian's 7-year-old daughter, was dressed in a black pinstripe suit that was modelled after her mother's Harvard Business School outfit from 2023.

What are Kim’s legal plans after graduation?

Kim Kardashian can now proceed to the bar exam, which will enable her to practise law in California, after passing the multistate professional responsibility exam, according to a report.

She expressed her desire to start a "successful law firm" in 2022 in an interview with Vogue Hong Kong. She is currently preparing to take the California bar exam to translate her dreams into reality.
