Kim Kardashian has been hustling All’s Fair in America and Europe in recent weeks. All’s Fair is the Ryan Murphy-produced show about competing law firms focused on divorce. They make family law look very glam and terrible. Kim has been front-and-center in the promotion, and I guess she’s close to being the lead of the ensemble or something. Well, Kim and Sarah Paulson (who is also in All’s Fair) appeared on The Graham Norton Show, and Kim confirmed something interesting. Not about her acting career, but about her law career. Kim “graduated” from her makeshift law-study program earlier this year, and she took the bar exam over the summer. Kim told Graham that her bar results will be coming soon, but she believes she passed and she hopes to practice law soon.
Kim Kardashian is truly a jack of all trades! During an appearance on BBC’s The Graham Norton Show on Friday, Oct. 24, the reality TV star, 45, revealed that in addition to the multiple entertainment and fashion projects that she’s currently working on, she hasn’t slowed down on her 10-year plan to become a trial lawyer. She appeared on the chat show hosted by Graham Norton, alongside her All’s Fair costar Sarah Paulson.
“I have a few projects coming up — I film my first movie in January, and we are hoping for a season 2 of All’s Fair,” Kardashian said. “I always want to be growing, curious and evolving, and I want to see wherever that takes me.”
Revealing that the results of her bar exams are due soon, she continued, “I will be qualified in two weeks. I hope to practice law. Maybe in 10 years, I think I’ll give up being Kim K and be a trial lawyer. That’s what I really want.”
The law career update came after The Kardashians star graduated from a Law Office Study Program on May 21. At the time, PEOPLE confirmed that it took her six years to complete rather than four due to COVID and other work commitments.
Despite having never graduated from college, she began an apprenticeship with a law firm in San Francisco in 2018 and took the “baby bar,” also known as the First-Year Law Student’s Examination, in 2021. In March of this year, she took the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE) in Los Angeles, which is mandatory to complete before the bar in order to practice law in California.
I mean, I guess? I was one of the few people who thought it was cool that Kim was still educating herself and pursuing her legal dreams. There were so many times where I thought she would give up, and think about how easy it would have been for her to abandon her law studies. Now, would anyone hire Kim as their lawyer? No. I wouldn’t. But I would ask her opinion on which lawyer to hire.
Here’s a clip from Graham Norton where Kim is talking about Skims’ “merkin panties” or whatever we’re calling them.

I’m with you on thinking it’s cool she’s done this, and it wd have been so eadh to give up. And I was also impressed by her advocacy of wrongly-convicted prisoners. Impressive.
Can’t say anything bad about her doing this. Credit where it’s due and I think it’s due here; it’s a great goal, especially wanting to advocate and help people who need it, and admirable that she’s clearly passionate about it and working towards it.
When will she have time go to fashion shows in Paris and other places? How with she do the show she is currently on? She complains that she is a single parent with no help from Kanye and she has little time so how is she going to add this to her list of things to do lol.
The only thing I’ve admired her for was her advocating on behalf of wrongly accused or punished prisoners. I think that’s just what she should continue to do. Actually Practicing law day to day is too much of a grind for our Kim and I don’t see her doing that. I can’t get over the fact in California you can sit for the bar without a college degree. Wild. Anyway anything to keep her away from home and those four ‘fatherless’ kids who I bet due to their parents are a wild and uncontrolled bunch.
So funny, we were just talking about this at dinner the other night (“we” being my attorney husband, my almost-18 year old, and me, a paralegal.) I think Kim’s advocacy for the wrongfully convicted/those with unnecessarily punitive sentences is extremely admirable. I find the idea of her centering herself as an attorney less admirable. Her resources and name recognition would allow the attorneys and organizations already doing that work (with years of expertise) to continue and her insistence that she participate as “counsel” is just another attention grab IMO.
I have no patience for someone with millions on millions of dollars gaming the system the way she has. I understand that California “allows” it but it’s ridiculous to me. She didn’t even really complete the apprenticeship requirement hours-wise and there is absolutely no reason that she couldn’t have completed an undergraduate degree before attending law school instead of this “bespoke” work-around that she didn’t even fulfill. She is a fundamentally unserious person and I would never choose an attorney who didn’t even finish college.
Also, the CA bar has one of the worst passage rates in the country and is widely regarded as the second hardest to pass (the hardest being NY and the third hardest my home state of TX.)
I join all of you who said it’s cool she did this. Even if she doesn’t pass the bar or ever practice, it’s a very useful education and she can apply a lot of what she’s learned to her businesses and life.
Good for her – but if she actually practices as a trial attorney, I’ll buy a hat and eat it.
considering last week she admitted she has no idea what a gallon of milk costs — and lamented her lack of knowledge on the subject — I will dine with you , not sure what pairs well with fedora.
I will be shocked if she passed the California bar or maybe it’s something else intermediate that she took. it is one of the toughest boards and some folks who’ve gone to top law schools for 3 years full time have still failed it. Very interested to follow this as a mother of 3 lawyers…
If someone who barely graduated high school, didn’t go to college or law school, and has never shown even the slightest hint of intellectual curiosity passes the famously difficult California Bar, I’m going to have lots of questions.
Not to be a gate keeper. If a 40 year old who didn’t have the chance to go to college but has always been extremely bright and curious did this, I’d be cheering them on and screaming that we have to rethink traditional educational paths.
This. I’m glad she’s doing things with her life besides posing for dead-eyes pics on instagram, but if he passes this bar, I will have questions indeed.
I could see somebody who studied hard on one particular subject for one particular exam over several years with privately paid mentoring could eventually pass it. Taking an exam is wholly different from being competent in practice, which is exactly why we have plenty of cum laude doctorate professionals who are garbage practitioners. I don’t believe for a second a woman who made her career off social media and reality tv has the patience for the long term tedium of most law careers.
This being said, I do think states like CA should put limits on how many times people can retake them who aren’t going through traditional college law programs. I’m fine with people who start as paralegals and work under the mentorship of a lawyer eventually going to take it, but I do think that should be a more difficult pathway to achieve.
@Veronica – I’m not a lawyer or even close, so I don’t know what it takes, but I love the idea of a paralegal being able to train on the job to take the bar, earning money while studying and learning on the job. In most cases, that path won’t lead to the type of cutthroat corporate career a prestigious graduate gets, but if it can lead to a meaningful, paying career with minimal debt, bring it on.
Traditional educational paths designed for the elite few had expanded for several decades and created a pathway to upward mobility, but the trend is reversing right now with debt far outpacing earning potential, so bring on the new opportunities.
I’d much rather discuss that then this mockery of the uber wealthy getting to bypass hard work for personal glory. (But who knows? Maybe she’ll join the Innocence Project and make a real difference in the world. Let’s talk when that happens.)
If she knows what a trial lawyer does in a day, I’ll eat my hat. She is unlikely to enjoy the sheer amount of document review required, the tedious writing and the fact that a typical trial lawyer has a schedule at the mercy of the court. It is an entirely unglamorous job of which a fraction is spent in an actual courtroom. Yeah, yeah, it’s great she skipped many of the steps to get where she is but she might be loathe to discover the bar was the “easy” part. Maybe she does feel confident she passed. In my experience as a lawyer and a passer of a couple bars, I’ve yet to meet anyone who walks out thinking they passed, even if ultimately they did. It’s nearly impossible to gauge because it’s an enormous amount of information and a very lengthy exam.
I don’t think Trudeau has a PR person to tell him what optics look like. Maybe optics don’t matter for him though. I wonder what his political friends think…
I hope someone asks Marc Carney his opinion.
