Kim Kardashian is certain she’s going to be a “qualified” lawyer when the California bar results come out next month and hopes to eventually trade in celebrity for the courtroom.
The 45-year-old reality star, who’s promoting Ryan Murphy’s legal show All’s Fair,said on recent episode of The Graham Norton Showthat she “will be qualified in two weeks,” after sitting for the bar exam over the summer, per People and TMZ. The State Bar of California will release results on Nov7.
“I hope to practice law. Maybe in 10 years, I think I’ll give up being Kim K and be a trial lawyer,” said the Skims founder, who does not hold an undergraduate degree but, after three earlier attempts, passed the so-called “baby bar” in 2021. “That’s what I really want.”
Kardashian first revealed her legal ambitions to follow in the footsteps of her late father Robert Kardashian — one of O.J. Simpson’s defense attorneys — in 2019, during a Vogue cover interview.
At the time, the clemency advocate said she had “aced” her torts test and planned to take the bar in 2022 after undertaking a four-year apprenticeship with a San Francisco law firm.
While appearing as GQ’s 2023 Man of the Year, Kardashian confirmed she wanted to pay tribute to her father by becoming a lawyer.
She passed the multistate professional responsibility exam, a prerequisite for the bar, in May.
Kardashian “dedicated 18 hours a week, 48 weeks a year for six straight years” to her Law Office Study Program, attorney Jessica Jackson said in a speech this spring. - New York Daily News/Tribune News Service
