Kim Kardashian is breaking barriers once again. At 44, she’s proving that it’s never too late to reinvent yourself, learn something new, or pursue a passion. After six years of studying, thousands of hours of reading, and balancing a schedule most people would find overwhelming, the entrepreneur and TV star has officially earned her law degree.
Yes, it’s true—Kim K now holds a legal title. What makes her journey even more impressive is that she didn’t attend Harvard or Yale. Instead, she took an alternative legal path that exists in only four U.S. states, allowing aspiring lawyers to study without attending a traditional law school.
Kim began her legal studies in 2018 through California’s Law Office Study Program (LOSP), which lets students train under the supervision of practicing attorneys. For six years, she dedicated 18 hours a week, 48 weeks a year, adding up to more than 5,000 hours of legal training—all while raising four children, running multiple businesses, filming her reality show, and actively supporting social justice causes.
Kim Kardashian defends law school graduation from detractors:
“I chose a rigorous program registered with the California State Bar, building on 75 college credits to complete a four-year curriculum that stretched to six. The journey was real, and so is the accomplishment.” pic.twitter.com/VKpE0a0FoF

The COVID-19 pandemic and her packed schedule made the process longer than expected, but Kim stayed committed. At her graduation ceremony, her mentor Jessica Jackson called her journey “one of the most inspiring legal paths we’ve ever seen.”
Even though Kim now has her diploma, she still can’t officially practice law—not yet, at least. She still needs to pass the California Bar Exam, one of the most challenging legal tests in the country. But if she’s proven anything, it’s that determination is one of her biggest strengths. Her goal is clear: to keep fighting for prison reform and to help people who’ve been wrongfully convicted—a cause she’s already embraced through cases like that of Alice Marie Johnson.
Her graduation, of course, was nothing short of spectacular. Kim hosted a beautiful backyard party, filled with custom details, white flowers, and a long table set for her guests. Among those celebrating with her were her sisters Khloé and Kourtney, who even wore caps and gowns to mark the occasion.
