It’s been quite the journey, but Kim Kardashian has finally completed her law school program — a milestone she celebrated with a private backyard ceremony that was all about her and her family.
After six years of juggling a busy life, Kim marked this achievement, sharing the moment with her fans on Instagram.
But, as expected with anything Kim-related, the reaction online was mixed.
A Unique Graduation Celebration in Her Own Backyard
Instead of a crowded auditorium, Kim’s graduation was a cozy, intimate affair held right in her backyard.
She sat by a podium wearing a chic grey top, black mini skirt, and a beige graduation cap.
Her mentors gave heartfelt speeches, praising her dedication, while her family and kids looked on proudly.
One mentor even called Kim’s journey “one of the most inspiring legal journeys we’ve ever seen.”
The Unconventional Route to Becoming a Lawyer in California
Kim didn’t take the traditional law school path.
In California, there’s an alternative called the Law Office Study Program, or LOSP, which allows people to “read the law” and qualify without attending a formal law school.
Kim started this apprenticeship-style program in 2019 and has been steadily working through it while balancing a packed schedule.
Although she’s completed the study program, she still needs to pass the state Bar Exam before officially practicing law.
Praises from Mentors and Fellow Advocates
Her mentors were full of admiration, highlighting Kim’s “fierce desire to fight for justice” and pointing out that she never took shortcuts.
They emphasized how she managed this while raising four kids, running multiple businesses, filming TV shows, and even advocating in courtrooms.
CNN’s Van Jones was there too, applauding her efforts in criminal justice reform.
Mixed Reactions from Fans Online
Not everyone was impressed by the timeline. Many fans joked about how it took Kim six years to complete a program that normally lasts three.
Comments ranged from playful teasing — “6 years to finish her bar prep” — to genuine questions about why it took so long.
On the flip side, others gave her credit for balancing so many responsibilities, saying things like, “She’s building an empire, raising four kids, and studying law. I support this legally brunette era.”
Family Support and Celebration Moments
Kim’s sisters were quick to show their love and pride.
Khloe shared clips from the ceremony expressing how proud she was, while Kourtney posted a cute photo of herself in a graduation cap.
Kim’s youngest kids — Chicago, Saint, and Psalm — watched as she walked up to receive her diploma.
She also shared adorable photos of her kids dressed up and enjoying the day, making it a truly family-focused celebration.
Dedication Over the Years Despite Challenges
Since 2018, Kim has pursued this dream inspired by her late father, Robert Kardashian, a well-known attorney famous for his role in the O.J. Simpson trial.
Over the past six years, Kim dedicated around 18 hours a week to her studies, totaling over 5,000 hours.
The pandemic and her busy life stretched out the timeline, but she still pushed through, passing important exams like the “baby bar” in 2021 and the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam earlier this year.
Looking Ahead to the Bar Exam in 2026
While this ceremony marks the completion of her law school program, Kim’s journey isn’t quite finished yet.
She’s planning to take the California Bar Exam in 2026, bringing her one step closer to officially becoming a lawyer.
For now, Kim’s celebration was a heartfelt tribute to her hard work, her family, and her late father’s legacy.
