It's been a long road for Kim Kardshian as she's pursued her dream of becoming a lawyer and she's celebrating a milestone.
Kardashian on Wednesday shared photos and video of what appeared to be a backyard graduation ceremony. In the first video, a voice which sounds like her sister Khloe Kardshian, can be heard saying, 'Surprise graduation!'
'It's an absolute honor to stand here today, not just as mentors, but as witnesses to one of the most inspiring legal journeys we've ever seen,' Jessica Jackson, an attorney who worked with Kardashian on her studies.
'Six years ago, Kim Kardashian walked into this program with nothing but a fierce desire to fight for justice,' Jackson said. 'No law school lectures, no ivory tower shortcuts, just determination and a mountain of case log books to read.'
Jackson also noted that over the six years Kardashian has dedicated '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.'
Kardashian's advocacy work in criminal justice has resulted in several people being released from prison, most notably Alice Marie Johnson, a first-time nonviolent drug offender, whose sentence Kardashian encouraged U.S. President Donald Trump to commute in 2018, after Johnson had served 21 years.
President Trump pardoned Johnson in 2020.
In another slide, Kardashian is shown holding her certificate of completion on stage as her friends and family celebrated her. Kardashian also included a photo of her late father, Robert Kardashian, an attorney who famously worked on his friend OJ Simpson's trial.

What is it that sets Connor McDavid apart from other NHL superstars?
With the pressure starting to boil and the ground beginning to shake under the Oilers' bench, it was one of those moments where a game, and maybe even a series, teetered on the brink. Article content Article content The Dallas Stars just turned the volume up to 10, having closed Edmonton's 3-0 first-period lead to 3-2 midway through the second. They were coming back. Every fan in the American Airlines Center believed it and every player on the Dallas bench knew it. Article content Article content They were going to erase a 3-0 lead, win Game 5 and never look back. There's no way the Oilers could recover from such a soul-breaking defeat. Article content The next goal was everything. Article content Two minutes later, Connor McDavid took a shotgun and blasted every breath of air out of that balloon of hope. He read the play, jumped on a loose puck, used his thoroughbred speed to stay a step ahead of Roope Hintz and executed a breakaway deke that looked like somebody accidentally hit the fast forward button on a replay. Article content And, just like that, the Oilers were back in charge, on their way to another Stanley Cup Final. Article content 'All things considered, my hockey brain says that's probably one of the nicest goals I've seen him score,' said Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl, who's seen all of them in his 10 years as McDavid's teammate. Article content 'Just the whole situation, how it played out, who he had coming up behind him. That's a big-time play. There is only one player in the world who can do that in that moment and we're very fortunate to have him on our side.' Article content Ain't that the truth. In a playoff year where eight-figure superstars all over the league couldn't live up to the weight of the moment, McDavid continues to elevate when it matters most. Article content Everyone remembers how he took his game to another level, delivering out-of-this world performances against Calgary and Los Angeles at breaking points in those series. Or how he scored the game winner for Canada in the Four Nations pressure cooker. Or how he racked up 42 points in 25 playoff games last year. Article content 'I've seen Connor do it numerous times last year in the playoffs and, before I was coaching, watching him on TV,' said Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch. 'It's really remarkable how he and Leon have really elevated their game at this time.' Article content A team needs its highest-paid guys to be difference makers in the clutch (ask the Toronto Maple Leafs) and the Oilers are blessed in that respect. They have a handful of them. Their most highly-skilled players are also their best big-game players.

In the early 1980s, then-prime minister Pierre Trudeau did a very unprofessional pirouette behind Queen Elizabeth's back during two of her separate visits to Canada, which raised the anger of many Canadians. On May 27, his arrogant son Justin upstaged the throne speech by King Charles to some extent by wearing sneakers to this very prestigious event, likely to attract attention to himself. Sneakers! How disgraceful. I am surprised that self-righteous and jet-setting Justin didn't perform a pirouette as he was leaving the ceremony! Robert Norris Mississauga This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. (The Clown and the Crown) SNEAKY I guess you have to be a bit older to appreciate why Justin wore the green sneakers to the King's speech. He was putting on a childish show, meant for Quebecers, to express disdain for the English monarchy, just like when his old man did the pirouette behind the Queen. Hoping to make papa proud. Chris Wallace Markham (Still embarrassing Canada every chance he gets) SHUFFLE THE DECK Re 'He's no foreigner, he's King Canuck' (Editorial, May 26): The assertion can be made that King Charles is very much a foreigner — an unelected King at that. When it comes to the title Head of State of Canada, no one in our great country has ever voted for the British monarch, whose 'authority,' let's face it, comes through heredity and lineage, not from we the people. It would be more apropos if Donald Trump called himself Captain America than for us as Canadians to refer to Charles as Captain Canada. Jake VanderKooy Brampton (Playing your Trump card, eh?) HE'S A BEAUTY Will somebody please tell Donald Trump that all he has accomplished around the world is to Make America Ugly Now.
