Kim Kardashian<\/a> will have to put her legal career on hold after revealing she failed to pass the California Bar Exam<\/a> at the first attempt.<\/p>\n The reality star, 45, is currently appearing as an actor in the critically-panned legal drama All\u2019s Fair.<\/a><\/p>\n In a post to her Instagram Stories, she wrote: \u201cI\u2019m not a lawyer yet, I just play a very well-dressed one on TV.\u201d<\/p>\n She continued: \u201cSix years into this law journey, and I\u2019m still all in until I pass the bar. No shortcuts, no giving up – just more studying and and even more determination.<\/p>\n \u201cThank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me along the way so far. Falling short isn\u2019t failure – it\u2019s fuel. I was so close to passing the exam and that only motivates me even more. Let\u2019s go!\u201d<\/p>\n open image in gallery<\/p>\n Kim Kardashian appearing in the critically panned legal drama \u2018All\u2019s Fair\u2019 (Disney)<\/p>\n Earlier this week, Kardashian ruled out becoming a divorce lawyer like her character in All\u2019s Fair. <\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think I can ever really do family law,\u201d Kardashian told the BBC, adding that she is \u201cmore into criminal justice<\/a> and reform work<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n Kardashian took an unconventional law school route, studying under a lawyer in a workaround offered in California.<\/p>\n She enlisted in an apprenticeship program with a San Francisco law firm in 2018, according to multiple reports, and celebrated its completion in May.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was the wildest idea that I was going to law school,\u201d she said, \u201cbut to me it all makes sense and I hope that I\u2019m forever curious and always want to try new things.\u201d<\/p>\n Kardashian\u2019s interest in criminal justice reform first drew wide attention in 2018 when she lobbied President Donald Trump for clemency on behalf of Alice Marie Johnson, who had been serving a life sentence for a non-violent drug offense. Johnson\u2019s sentence was commuted that June,<\/a> and she received a pardon in 2020<\/a>.<\/p>\n open image in gallery<\/p>\n Kim Kardashian lobbied President Donald Trump for clemency on behalf of federal prisoner Alice Marie Johnson in 2018 (AFP via Getty Images)<\/p>\n In 2019, Kardashian supported the \u201c90 Days to Freedom\u201d campaign, helping fund efforts to free 17 people serving life terms for non-violent drug offenses.<\/p>\n She has also publicly backed the bipartisan First Step Act and related efforts to reduce mandatory minimum sentences for first-time offenders.<\/p>\n Kardashian\u2019s interest in law is part of a family legacy. Her father, Robert Kardashian, was a successful attorney who practiced law for almost a decade before shifting into business.<\/p>\n He reactivated his inactive license to join OJ Simpson\u2019s defense team<\/a> during his 1995 murder trial<\/a>. Robert Kardashian died in 2003 from esophageal cancer, aged 59.<\/p>\n Kardashian, who has been divorced three times, said the subject matter of her new show was \u201csuch a relatable topic\u201d for her because she \u201cexperienced it with my family and parents growing up\u201d.<\/p>\n She finalized her divorce<\/a> from Kanye West<\/a>, also known as Ye, with whom she has four children, after eight years of marriage in 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":366424,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[185,171,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-366423","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115518714293707282","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/366423","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=366423"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/366423\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/366424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=366423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=366423"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=366423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Kim](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/174743_0216RC.jpeg\")
