Kim Kardashian 'finally' completes legal studies

Yahoo22-05-2025

Kim Kardashian has "finally" graduated from law school. The 44-year-old reality star has been working on the four-year Law Office Study Program since 2019, taking six years due to her work and the COVID-19 pandemic, and on Wednesday (21.05.25) her family and friends got together to celebrate the completion of her studies. Sharing a video of her putting on her graduation cap in what appeared to be a backyard ceremony, Kim wrote on her Instagram Story: "I finally graduated law school after six years!!!" Jessica Jackson, one of the attorneys who had sponsored Kim's programme, gave a speech and praised the Skims founder for her hard work and dedication. She said on stage: "It's an absolute honour to stand here today, not just as mentors, but as witnesses to one of the most inspiring legal journeys we've ever seen. "Six years ago, Kim Kardashian walked into this programme with nothing but a fierce desire to fight for justice. No law school lectures, no ivory tower shortcuts, just determination and a mountain of case log books to read. "Over the course of this programme, Kim has dedicated 18 hours a week, 48 weeks a year for six straight years. That's a total of 5,184 hours of legal study, that's time she carved out while raising four children, running businesses, filming television shows and showing up in courtrooms to advocate for others." In another slide, Kim - who has North, 11, Saint, nine, Chicago, seven, and six-year-old Psalm with ex-husband Kanye West - hugged her mentors as she walked on stage before holding up her certificate of completion. Kim's younger sister, Khloe Kardashian, took to her own Instagram Story to express her pride in her sibling. She said in a video: "I am so proud of Kim. I just left her celebration lunch for graduating law school. "I mean, I cannot believe this is years and years in the making. I'm so proud of her. This was just such a cool accomplishment, and I'm so proud." And Kourtney Kardashian shared a selfie in which she wore Kim's graduation cap. She captioned the picture: "Supportive sister." Kim - who never graduated from college - began an apprenticeship with a San Francisco law firm in 2018, opting for a path only offered by four states including California, which meant she didn't have to attend law school. In 2021, she sat the 'baby bar', also known as the First-Year Law Student's Examination, and passed on her fourth attempt. She wrote on X at the time: "OMFGGGG I PASSED THE BABY BAR EXAM!!!! Looking in the mirror, I am really proud of the woman looking back today in the reflection. "For anyone who doesn't know my law school journey, know this wasn't easy or handed to me. "I failed this exam 3 times in 2 years, but I got back up each time and studied harder and tried again until I did it!!! (I did have COVID on the 3rd try w a 104 fever but I'm not making excuses). 'I was told by top lawyers that this was a close to impossible journey and harder than the traditional law school route but it was my only option and it feels so so sooooo good to be here and on my way to achieving my goals.(sic)"

Eddington Trailer Previews Ari Aster's Polarizing Western Movie With Pedro Pascal

A new trailer for has been released. Eddington is the forthcoming A24 movie that is written and directed by Ari Aster. A contemporary Western starring Pedro Pascal and Joaquin Phoenix, the movie will be released in United States theaters next month. Check out the new Eddington trailer and poster below (watch more trailers and clips): The Eddington trailer previews tension between Phoenix and Pascal's characters, as both of them live in a small town in which everyone is angry at their neighbors, largely because of the COVID-19 pandemic. 'In May of 2020, a standoff between a small-town sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) and mayor (Pedro Pascal) sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in Eddington, New Mexico,' the official synopsis reads. The cast of the movie also includes Austin Butler, Emma Stone, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O'Connell, Michael Ward, Clifton Collins Jr., Amélie Hoeferle, and William Belleau. Eddington had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival last month. The movie received polarizing reviews from critics; some, like Indiewire's David Ehrlich, praised its satirical take on COVID and modern times, while others, such The Times' Kevin Maher, felt that Eddington feels 'unsure of what it wants to say.' The film currently has a 65 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes with 49 reviews. Aster found himself in a similar position when Beau Is Afraid was released in 2023, as that movie also received mixed reviews. Prior to that, Aster directed Hereditary in 2018 and Midsommar in 2019. 'I felt like [Aster] wrote something that was all our worst fears as that lockdown experience was already a fracturing society,' Pascal said of the movie, via IndieWire, at Cannes. This was building toward an untethered sense of reality. There is a point of not going back. I was overwhelmed by that fear, and it's wonderful that it was confirmed by Ari.' Eddington will be released in United States theaters on July 18, 2025, from A24.
