Surprise, Surprise! Kim Kardashian is Studying to Become a Lawyer

Just when we thought Kim Kardashian West has given us the most shocking news, she surprised everyone by revealing that she is studying to become a lawyer!

First, Kardashian West fulfilled her lifelong dream of being featured in the cover of Vogue Magazine. It was in its May issue that she revealed to the public she has been under a four-year law apprenticeship program that she started during the summer. Once she is done with this, she hopes to take the bar exam by 2022.

If you think about it, this should not be surprising at all since Kardashian West’s father is the late Robert Kardashian, who was a lawyer famous for being the defense attorney of O.J. Simpson during his infamous murder trial. Naturally, one of his kids would follow in his footsteps, and as it turns out, it’s his eldest child.

Kardashian West’s interest in the justice system began when she went to the White House to ask President Donald Trump to commute the sentence of a 63-year-old Alice Marie Johnson. Johnson has been imprisoned for 22 years for a drug charge considered to be non-violent. The reality star turned business mogul went to the White House along with several lawyers and activist Van Jones, who also works as a CNN commentator.

What we see on Kim’s reality TV show Keeping Up with the Kardashians is all family drama, but it seems there is more to this family, specifically Kardashian West. The reality star feels there is something wrong with the justice system, and she can help fix this if she knew more about the law. She may not have a bachelor’s degree (it’s her elder sister Kourtney who finished college), but the state of California offers an alternative way that she could take and pass the bar exam — an apprenticeship, like the one she is completing now. Kim is scheduled to take what they call a ‘baby bar’ this summer, a state exam that will determine if she can pursue law for the next three years.
