Kim Kardashian Graduates From Law School

Kim Kardashian is now a law school graduate. Her journey took six years, longer than the four she had originally planned, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and her work schedule, People reports. "It wasn't easy, and it took longer than planned, but I never gave up," the reality star wrote in an Instagram post Thursday. "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." She says she felt especially triumphant "when I conquered subjects I initially feared."

She says three people whose release from prison she championed spoke at her graduation. "Their deeply personal stories of perseverance through adversity and injustice profoundly inspires me and form the heart of my 'why,'" she wrote. She also thanked her legal mentor Van Jones, a CNN commentator featured in one of the videos she shared, USA Today reports. Also among those celebrating the accomplishment was Ivanka Trump, who called Kardashian "my favorite law school graduate." It'll be a while before you can call her "Kim Kardashian, Esquire," though; she must first pass the bar exam, which is offered in California in July and February, the Los Angeles Times reports.
