Kim Kardashian has finally released a statement after completing her law studies.
After two failed attempts at passing the baby bar exam, the SKIMS founder is sharing her graduation joy with her fans after six long years.
Kim Kardashian began her journey to becoming an attorney fueled by her late father, Robert Kardashian Sr.'s legacy. The Kardashian patriarch is revered for his excellent performance as O.J. Simpson's defense attorney during his famous murder trial in 1995.

The billionaire took to Instagram to celebrate her latest accomplishment of fulfilling her lifelong dream of becoming a lawyer. The slides from Kim's party featured pictures of her dressed up in a gray turtleneck, a matching skirt, and a graduation cap with a "2025" logo on the tassels.
Her kids were not left behind in the fun as they looked dapper in corporate fits with radiant smiles to match. The reality star's sisters, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, alongside their mom, Kris Jenner, also appeared in the pictures from the event.
In an intimate graduation ceremony at the backyard of her home, graced by friends and family, Kim detailed her journey with a carousel of images and a heartfelt caption that partly read:
"Six years ago, I embarked on an unconventional path to pursue my dream of becoming a lawyer. It wasn't easy, and it took longer than planned, but I never gave up. Each course brought moments of doubt, tears, and triumph - especially when I conquered subjects I initially feared. That's the beauty of life: you step into the unknown, push through, and emerge with knowledge and strength no one can take away."

She acknowledged the tumultuous process of choosing a very demanding course, which required her to complete a four-year curriculum on 75 college credits. Kim shared that her four-year journey extended to six years due to various challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic and her hectic schedules.
But she did not give up, thanks to the efforts of her mentors, friends, and tutors who put in the hours to help me reach the finish line. The newest graduate added:
"Having Chris Young, Michelle West, and Dawn Jackson, whom my team and I championed for their release from prison, speak at my graduation meant the world to me. Their deeply personal stories of perseverance through adversity and injustice profoundly inspires me and form the heart of my 'why.'"
The mogul concluded her caption by emphasizing that the whole experience has shaped her journey in profound and unforgettable ways. She declared, "Here's to celebrating resilience and new beginnings."

"Mind you she was building skims, raising tour kids, filming shows and movies while studying laws... an icon!"
"Just graduated dental hygiene school on Sunday - It only took me a total of 10 years to finish, but we did it. Thanks for inspiring me & so many along the way. Your Dad is so proud of you.." another fan declared under the post.
Another commenter shone the light on the actress's ability to ace everything, including being a great mom, an excellent actress, and an "extremely smart" businesswoman.
A fifth follower added, "One thing about Kim-she gets it DONE. Seriously, mad respect for the grind, and congrats, Kim!" Some comments also compared the actress's journey to her dad's iconic exploits, concluding that she would do great as a lawyer like him.

In 2023, The Blast shared insights from the mogul’s appearance at the TIME 100 Summit, where she discussed her plans towards ensuring criminal justice reform remains a highlight of her career.
The mother of four expressed her happiness in enjoying life without media attention, choosing instead to make a meaningful impact as a full-time lawyer.
Through her contribution towards prison reform, the reality star shared that she became aware of numerous issues around her. Her sister and Good American co-owner also witnessed that side of her world.
While she had not become a fully licensed attorney then, the model wanted her name to be etched in the sands of time for aggressive and progressive prison reform.
During one of her visits to the California State Prison, the billionaire shared her expectations to use her platform to bring meaningful attention and change to existing laws and aid criminal justice reform.
Kim Kardashian's Prison Reform Activism Began In 2017

Although born into the legal sphere by her legendary lawyer dad, the actress' interest in criminal justice reform was piqued by Alice Marie Johnson's case in 2017.
Johnson had been held in prison since 1996 for her role in ensuring communications in a drug trafficking plot. Following Johnson's dashed hope for clemency by the Obama administration in 2016, the SKIMS founder took up the case.
Kim reportedly stumbled on Johnson's story via a video report, and she immediately lent her voice to mount pressure on the government for a pardon. By 2020, Kim's efforts alongside other activists paid off, and Johnson was released from prison.
Since then, Kim has refused to rest on her oars. She also advocated for a pardon for a father jailed after a tragic school shooting that claimed the life of his daughter in Uvalde, Texas.
Congratulations to Kim Kardashian!
