Kim Kardashian Graduates Law Program

Kim Kardashian just added a new title to her already multifaceted résumé: law program graduate. On May 21, 2025, the media mogul and justice reform advocate celebrated the completion of her six-year legal studies through California’s Law Office Study Program. A non-traditional alternative to law school, the program required her to log over 5,000 hours of study—a feat she managed while running businesses, raising four children, and starring on TV. The graduation took place in her backyard with close family, including sisters Khloé and Kourtney and her children, in a quietly powerful celebration of her persistence.

From Viral Video to the Courtroom 

Kim’s legal ambitions were born out of a visceral response to a video about the U.S. prison system, which led her to team up with legal heavyweights like Van Jones and Jessica Jackson. After starting her apprenticeship in 2018, she hit several major milestones: passing the infamous "baby bar" in 2021 after three tries, and the MPRE in March 2025. Her advocacy has already seen real-world impact, notably helping secure the release of Alice Marie Johnson in a high-profile case. Now, with graduation behind her, the only step left is passing the California Bar Exam to become a fully licensed attorney.

A Private Milestone, Public Impact 

The ceremony may have been intimate, but the public reaction was massive. X (formerly Twitter) lit up with congratulatory posts, and outlets like CNN, NBC, and USA Today confirmed the milestone within hours. Kim’s story hits differently—not just because she’s a celebrity, but because she’s reshaping what ambition looks like in the public eye. Balancing motherhood, fame, and a mission for justice, she’s managed to make studying law feel both personal and political.

What’s Next?

With the bar exam looming, Kardashian’s legal journey isn’t over. But this graduation signals more than academic progress—it’s proof that her transformation from pop culture lightning rod to policy-shaping force isn’t just a headline. It’s happening in real time, one case—and one courtroom—at a time.
