Kim Kardashian is reportedly skipping the bar exam this year, after failing the grueling test to become a lawyer last year. Sources told TMZ that the 45-year-old reality star and actress did not sit for the February exam and will not take the July test either. Students have two opportunities annually to take the California bar exam, in February and July.
Future Plans for the Bar Exam
According to insiders, Kardashian intends to wait until at least next year before attempting the exam again, though a specific date has not been set. She has until January 4 to decide whether to take the test on February 27. The Daily Mail contacted a representative for Kardashian for comment but did not receive an immediate response.
Previous Attempt and Determination
Kardashian originally took the exam in July, two months after graduating from a four-year California Law Office Study Program (LOSP). She confirmed her failure on Instagram, writing: 'Well...I'm not a lawyer yet, I just play a very well-dressed one on TV,' referencing her role as divorce lawyer Allura Grant in the legal drama All's Fair. She added: '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.'
Kardashian expressed gratitude to those who supported her and emphasized that falling short is 'fuel.' She noted she was close to passing and that motivates her further. In a previous appearance on The Graham Norton Show, she revealed she had taken the bar in July and was awaiting results, hoping to be qualified in two weeks. She stated: '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.'
Following Her Father's Footsteps
The TV personality is keen to follow in the footsteps of her late father, Robert Kardashian, who was a prominent lawyer and defense attorney for O.J. Simpson during his 1995 murder trial. Until she passes the bar, Kardashian can only work in legal fields that do not require a license to practice.
