Kim Kardashian Graduates From Four-Year Law Program After Six Years

Kim Kardashian has officially graduated from her legal apprenticeship program after six years of rigorous study, marking a significant milestone in her journey to become a licensed attorney.

The 44-year-old celebrated this achievement with a heartfelt ceremony surrounded by family and friends.

This accomplishment brings her one step closer to following in the footsteps of her late father, Robert Kardashian Sr., a prominent attorney.

Kim has every reason to be thankful. She graduated from California’s Law Office Study Program after six years of intensive study. The program is usually four years long, but Kim completed it in six years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a series of videos and photos shared on her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, the reality TV star gave fans a glimpse of the private backyard graduation ceremony.

“I finally graduated law school after six years!!!” she wrote over a video of herself sitting next to a podium in a gray top, a black miniskirt, and a beige graduation cap while her mentors gave speeches praising her.

In the first clip, Jessica Jackson, one of the attorneys sponsoring Kim’s education, described her graduation as “one of the most inspiring legal journeys we’ve ever seen.”

According to her, the socialite entered the program with a fierce desire and determination to fight for justice.

Jackson said Kim devoted “18 hours a week, 48 weeks a year for six years straight,” which she believed was inspiring, considering the star did so while “raising four children, running businesses, filming television shows and showing up in courtrooms to advocate for others.”

In another video, a second mentor spoke about how Kim has advocated for clemency, helped reunite families, and “brought national attention to the most broken parts of our legal system.”

Following the speeches, the “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” alum hugged her mentors before approaching the podium with a certificate of completion.

As Kim Kardashian held up the white piece of paper with a big smile, the crowd loudly cheered, “Yeah!!”

Another clip showed Van Jones, CNN political commentator and friend, giving a speech and celebrating her accomplishments.

The mom of four also reposted congratulatory posts from a fan page and her besties Simone Harouche and Zoe Winkler.

In addition to her mentors, Kim Kardashian’s family was present at the ceremony to celebrate her huge achievement.

In one of the posts, Kim shared a cute snap of her son Psalm in a suit enjoying some ice cream. She captioned it, “My babies were there to see me graduate.”

Also in attendance was Chris Young, a man who was serving a life sentence for a nonviolent drug crime.

According to one of the pictures in Kim Kardashian’s story, the soon-to-be attorney went to the White House to get Young’s sentence commuted.

“Chris it was an honor to sit next to you and hear everything you are doing to make this world a better place!” the caption read.

Kim’s journey to becoming an attorney began in 2018. Despite not graduating from college, she began apprenticing with a law firm in San Francisco.

Three years later, she passed the First-Year Law Students Examination after three failed attempts.

“OMFGGGG I PASSED THE BABY BAR EXAM!!!! Looking in the mirror, I am really proud of the woman looking back today in the reflection. For anyone who doesn't know my law school journey, know this wasn't easy or handed to me,” she wrote on X at the time.

Kim recalled how she failed the baby bar exam three times in two years and was told by top lawyers that it was a nearly impossible journey.

However, Kim said she knew that was the option she had, adding, “it feels so so sooooo good to be here and on my way to achieving my goals.”

Kim’s journey began two years after she was robbed at gunpoint in Paris. In April 2025, Yunice Abbas, one of the ten suspects, recounted how things went down during the early morning robbery.

Per The Blast, Abbas told the court that at about 3 am on October 3, 2026, he and his group, called “Grandpa Robbers,” overpowered a security guard and made their way into Kim’s rented suite.

Abbas said the group ran off with $10 million worth of jewelry. Unfortunately, the escape didn’t go as planned. Abbas recalled falling off his bicycle while riding away and spilling the jewelry bag on the street. He salvaged as much as possible but left behind a $24,000 diamond necklace.

Eventually, the necklace landed in police custody, and with the DNA on the jewelry, Abbas and his accomplices were apprehended in January 2017.

Meanwhile, Kim landed in Paris last week and gave an emotional testimony in a courtroom about the 2016 robbery, which she said changed her life. She described the terrifying night masked men tied her up, threatened her, and stole her jewelry, including sentimental items.

Despite the ordeal, Kim appeared defiant, wearing a $1.5 million necklace in court. She expressed forgiveness but emphasized that her life is forever altered. She hoped the trial, where suspects face life sentences, would bring closure.
