Kim Kardashian took to Instagram and wrote, “Well… I’m not a lawyer yet, I just play a very well-dressed one on TV. Six years into this law journey, and I’m still all in until I pass the bar. No shortcuts, no giving up — just more studying and even more determination.”

Kim expressed her gratitude to those who supported her in her journey of being a lawyer. She wrote, “Thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me along the way so far. Falling short isn’t failure—it’s fuel. I was so close to passing the exam, and that only motivates me even more. Let’s Go!”
According to USA Today reports, the number of test takers passing the bar exam in the country is quite low. Only 53.8% of participants were able to clear the examination held in July 2024 and February 2024. As for Kardashian, the reality TV star has taken the test only once, in July 2025.

Meanwhile, Kim took the bar test after passing the baby bar. The media personality took California‍‍`s First-Year Law Students‍‍` Exam in late 2021, after failing it three times in two years. The SKIMS owner has been pursuing a law degree to follow in the footsteps of her father, Robert Kardashian Sr.; the latter represented the NFL player O.J. Simpson in his infamous murder trial.

Sharing an update with her fans, Kardashian shared an Instagram story on May 21 that read, “I finally graduated law school after six years!!!”
