Kim Kardashian hasn't given up on dream to be a lawyer
Kim Kardashian hasn't given up on dream to be a lawyer but is currently too busy to retake the bar exam.
Kim Kardashian is "always" thinking about her law career, but is too busy to take the bar exam again.
The 46-year-old star announced in 2019 that she wanted to become a lawyer and graduated from a four-year Law Office Study Programme in 2025, but revealed last November that she had failed the final exam.
Kim has now insisted she hasn't given up on her legal ambitions but, in between promoting the new season of All's Fair, filming The Kardashians, working on an upcoming movie and juggling family life with her four children, she just doesn't have the time to study for the California bar exam at the moment.
She told People magazine: “I am always thinking about the bar.
“I’m going to take my time and wait until the moment is right, when I have some free time to focus on it."
Kim's All's Fair co-star Sarah Paulson is confident in her friend's abilities.
She said: “She’s going to be a great lawyer. She will.”
Kim - whose late father Robert Kardashian was a lawyer and represented O.J. Simpson in his 1995 murder trial - previously took four attempts to pass the baby bar exam in 2021, noting at the time it "wasn't easy or handed to me".
She added that her dad would be “so proud” and “so shocked to know that this is my path now, but he would’ve been my best study partner.”
The SKIMS founder previously revealed she was consoled by former US President Barack Obama after failing the bar exam, explaining he gave her some words of encouragement and revealed his wife Michelle also flunked the test on her first try.
In an interview with Complex magazine, Kim explained: "Afterwards, so many people told me about others who hadn’t passed, and offered encouragement. Even at a charity dinner, Obama told me Michelle didn’t pass on her first try.
"So many amazing attorneys and people I respect reached out, saying Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris also didn’t pass the first time. So it’s not the end of the world, but no excuses - you just do better."
After initially failing the test, Kim vowed not to try again but she later changed her mind and confirmed she was determined to give the exam another shot.
She told the publication: "Interestingly, I said going into it that I would never try again. I called it a 'one and done' because of time and energy constraints. But the day after, I started studying again and haven’t stopped.
"One day, I’ll retake it. I don’t know when; I have to find the time. But I don’t think I could live with myself if I don’t try again. I can’t pass up the opportunity. I didn’t come this far just to give up."
