Congratulations are in order for Kim Kardashian. The reality star and business mogul can soon add 'attorney' to her resumé, as she has just attained her law degree.
The Skims founder shared the news to her Instagram, where she posted clips from the intimate Wednesday afternoon ceremony. 'I finally graduated law school after 6 years!!!' Kardashian wrote over a video shared by her sister Khloé.
For the event, the American Horror Story star wore a gray turtleneck sweater and a darker, slate-colored miniskirt with a belt that she tied in a bow in the front. To complete her look, Kardashian added some black tights and white pumps. All the neutrals paired well with the her blush graduation robe.
At the ceremony, her legal mentor stated that Kardashian had studied '18 hours a week, 48 weeks a year for six straight years.'
'I wanna thank, I mean, all of you guys have been on this journey with me,' Kardashian said to the group of attendees, which included her sister Khloé, friend (and CNN political correspondent) Van Jones, and more. 'It did start with Van and I. Well, it started with a Twitter video that I saw, that popped up, and I just was dumbfounded.'
The video in question was about Alice Marie Johnson, a grandmother who had been given a life sentence for a non-violent drug offense nearly two decades prior.
When Kardashian learned of Johnson's story, she lobbied for her during a meeting with Donald Trump in 2018, and ultimately, the sentence was commuted.
Then, Kardashian decided she wanted to do more to advocate for others, so she began a four-year apprenticeship with a law firm in San Francisco that same year. In 2019, the Kardashians star told Vogue, 'It's never one person who gets things done; it's always a collective of people, and I've always known my role, but I just felt like I wanted to be able to fight for people who have paid their dues to society. I just felt like the system could be so different, and I wanted to fight to fix it, and if I knew more, I could do more.'
In California, there is an option to pass the bar through a process called 'reading the law,' which involves apprenticing with a practicing lawyer or judge. Kardashian took this option, so she never had to attend an actual law school.
The mother of four took the 'baby bar' exam a total of three times over the past four years before passing it, and she reportedly took the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE) this past March. Now, she just needs to pass the bar exam.
It's really perfect timing, as her new legal drama, All's Fair, comes out this fall. Coincidence?
