Reality television star and business mogul Kim Kardashian has announced she expects to become a qualified attorney within the next two weeks, pending the results of her bar exam.
The SKIMS founder provided this career update during an appearance on BBC’s The Graham Norton Show on 24 October.
KIM KARDASHIAN’S GRADUATION
Kim Kardashian celebrated her law school graduation in May after a six-year journey. The reality star, business mogul and actress shared her immediate and long-term legal ambitions with the host.
“I will be qualified in two weeks,” she stated, confirming she anticipates her exam results imminently, according to E! News.
Looking further ahead, the 45-year-old revealed that a significant career shift is on her mind. “Maybe in 10 years, I think I’ll give up being Kim K. and be a trial lawyer. That’s what I really want.”
KIM KARDASHIAN’S COMMITMENT TO HER STUDIES
Her declaration highlights a sustained commitment to her legal studies, which she pursued through a Law Office Study Programme.
This is a four-year apprenticeship registered with the California State Bar, according to People.
The programme, which Kim Kardashian extended to six years due to work commitments and the COVID-19 pandemic, required a dedicated 18 hours of study per week.
THE LEGAL PROFESSION
In South Africa, the legal profession is highly respected, and the path to becoming an attorney is similarly rigorous.
Kim Kardashian’s unconventional route offers a different perspective on legal training.
Her story demonstrates that passion for law can emerge outside of traditional university pathways, a notion that may resonate with aspiring legal professionals in South Africa.
KIM KARDASHIAN KEEPS BALANCING NEW VENTURES
While she awaits her results, the star continues to balance her business empire with new ventures in acting.
She keeps demonstrating the multifaceted career that has defined her public life.
Yet, her clear focus on a future in the courtroom suggests that the name Kim Kardashian may one day be associated more with legal arguments than reality television.
