Kim Kardashian may be one of the world’s most powerful fashion and media moguls, but her true passion is the law. Now that she’s unsuccessfully completed the California State Bar Exam and successfully advocated for prison reform, those unfamiliar with Kim’s goals are curious as to why she wants to be a lawyer when she’s one of reality TV’s most famous names.
Below, News47.us has compiled all the details we know so far about Kim’s law career journey.
No, Kim did not go the traditional law school route. She graduated from a law program in May 2025, though, and she previously took an apprenticeship at a San Francisco law firm in 2018.
Kim briefly attended Pierce College in Los Angeles, according to multiple outlets, though she does not have a bachelor’s degree.
Kim is pursuing a law career because of her late father, Robert Kardashian Sr., who inspired the Kardashians star to follow in his footsteps. Kim is also a passionate advocate for prison reform and in helping incarcerated individuals.
During an April 2020 interview with Vanity Fair, Kim said she believes her dad “would love” to see his daughter continuing her legal studies.
