Kim Kardashian has revealed that she is studying in secret to become a lawyer and also to take her bar examination by 2022.
The reality show star is doing a four-year apprenticeship at a San Francisco law firm, which in California is a legal way for someone to become a lawyer and take the bar without attending law school. “I had to think about this long and hard,” Kim said of her decision to pivot the career.
“The White House called me to advise to help change the system of clemency, and I’m sitting in the Roosevelt Room with, like, a judge who had sentenced criminals and a lot of really powerful people and I just sat there, like, Oh, poo. I need to know more,” she told Vogue.
“I would say what I had to say, about the human side and why this is so unfair. But I had attorneys with me who could back that up with all the facts of the case. It’s never one person who gets things done; it’s always a collective of people, and I’ve always known my role, but I just felt like I wanted to be able to fight for people who have paid their dues to society. I just felt like the system could be so different, and I wanted to fight to fix it, and if I knew more, I could do more.”
