Kim Kardashian Takes Another Major Step Towards Becoming A Lawyer

Kim Kardashian's attorney dream gets more apparent by the day!

The prison reform advocate has taken one more exam required to let her practice law as a duly certified attorney in the United States.

In 2017, Kim Kardashian started her journey in criminal justice reform after discovering the case of Alice Marie Johnson. By December 2021, she achieved a significant milestone by passing the baby bar exam.

On Wednesday, March 27, Kim sat for the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE), a critical test focused on legal ethics and professional conduct.

Although the MPRE is not a part of the bar exam, it is a necessary step for anyone seeking admission to the bar. Sources indicate that Kim took the exam at a testing center in Alhambra, California.

This demonstrated her commitment to pursuing her legal ambitions like any aspiring attorney. Kim's bodyguard had to wait for her outside the building since no guests were allowed inside the testing facility.

While Kim may not be an attorney yet, it has not deterred her from being at the forefront of criminal justice reform. Per TMZ, the entrepreneur successfully campaigned for Alice Marie Johnson's clemency and advocated for others behind bars.

Kim's dream to follow in the footsteps of her father, Robert Kardashian, faced some obstacles at the take-off stage.

As shared by The Blast in 2023 in the series finale of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians," Kim discussed her struggles with the bar exam. The reality star revealed that she could not obtain her law license in California if she did not pass the test. 

During the episode, she also spoke with her attorneys, Erin Haney and Jessica Jackson, who assisted her in preparing for the exam when she learned that she had failed her second attempt. This was incredibly disappointing as she had flunked the test several months earlier.

Kim scored lower on her second test compared to her first. She revealed that she earned a score of 463 on the second exam, slightly below her initial score of 474. To put things into perspective, a passing score is 560. 

During the TIME 100 Summit in 2023, Kim expressed her commitment to criminal justice reform, emphasizing her desire to make it a central focus of her career.

As reported by The Blast, Kim shared her perspective on potentially stepping away from the spotlight, stating that she would be content as a full-time attorney.

The billionaire reflected on how her experiences in criminal justice have significantly broadened her understanding of societal issues. She referenced a visit to a prison with her sister, Khloé Kardashian, which she described as an eye-opening experience for them both.

Although she is not yet a licensed attorney, Kim aspired for her work in the criminal justice reform sector to be her most meaningful contribution to humanity.

In her conversation with moderator Poppy Harlow, she humorously mentioned to her mom and manager that she might "retire" Kim K. to pursue a full-time legal career.

After hearing Alice's heartfelt story, Kim was drawn into criminal justice reform eight years ago. Alice has been in prison since 1996 for her involvement in facilitating communications in a drug trafficking case.

In 2016, she held out hope for clemency under then-President Obama, but ultimately, she was not among the 231 individuals pardoned.

The reality star became aware of Alice's situation through a video report by Mic, prompting her to retweet the clip with the comment, "This is so unfair," as she began advocating for Alice's pardon.

Luck finally smiled on Kim and Alice in August 2020 when Alice was released from prison. Kim continued her efforts to support other wrongfully convicted individuals.

Among these cases was that of a father who was imprisoned after the tragic elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, which claimed the life of his daughter.

In May 2019, Kim announced her ambition to pursue a legal career, inspired by her late father, who famously represented O.J. Simpson during the 1995 murder trial. 

After dedicating two years of intense study, she finally passed the first-year law students' examination in December 2021.

Celebrating her achievement, the 42-year-old shared her excitement on social media, acknowledging the challenges she faced throughout her law school journey.

The reality star expressed pride in herself, noting that top legal experts warned her about the baby bar's low pass rate, calling it a nearly impossible challenge.

More grease to Kim Kardashian's elbow!
