After six years of commitment, Kim Kardashian has completed her legal apprenticeship, marking a significant milestone in her journey towards becoming a lawyer. The 44-year-old reality star and fashion entrepreneur shared the news on Wednesday, celebrating her achievement with a small graduation-style ceremony surrounded by close family and friends.
Among those present were her sister Khloé Kardashian, her children Saint, Chicago, and Psalm West, and long-time friend and criminal justice advocate Van Jones. The intimate gathering included a personal touch, with venue settings crafted from Kim’s old study notes.

The video quickly went viral, with fans flooding the comment section with congratulatory messages. “That’s awesome! Congratulations!” a user wrote. “Congrats for staying the course no matter what life has thrown at you! You stayed focused on the end goal and finished! I’m sure your family is so proud!” another fan commented.
“Good for her, at least she didn’t quit she finished. Bravo,” a third user said.
Khloé shared a few snippets from the ceremony to celebrate her sister’s milestone, writing, “This was years and years in the making… This was just such a cool accomplishment, and I’m so proud. This was really inspiring and motivating.”
According to PEOPLE, Kim’s interest in law began in 2018 after she became “dumbfounded” by what she described as the broken state of the justice system. This sparked her involvement in criminal justice reform and led her to begin a four-year legal apprenticeship at a San Francisco law firm.
As part of her journey, she sat for the “baby bar” exam, required for students studying through nontraditional paths, three times, before qualifying in 2021. Her legal mentor revealed that she committed “18 hours a week, 48 weeks a year for six straight years,” totaling over “5,184 hours of legal study.”
The report also stated that she managed this workload while raising four children, running multiple businesses, filming her family’s reality shows, and actively advocating in the justice system for others. Her family has been vocal in their support. She has already cleared the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE) in March, a key requirement for bar eligibility.
