Kim Kardashian graduates law school after 6 years in surprise backyard commencement ceremony

The verdict is in.

Kim Kardashian marked her completion of law school by hosting a backyard commencement ceremony in Beverly Hills after a six-year educational journey, as shared by the reality star on Wednesday.

The Skims founder, 44, shared a series of Instagram stories that captured her mentors praising her for completing the four-year legal apprenticeship during the surprise gathering, where she fashioned a tan graduation cap on a stage before her kids and a small group of family and friends.

“All of you guys have been on this journey with me,” the mom-of-four said while standing at a podium dolled up in a gray sweater, leather mini skirt, black stockings and white pumps.

The business mogul first shared her legal aspirations and passion for justice reform in 2019 – and has since played a significant role in helping inmates, including Julius Jones, commute their prison sentences.

Kardashian – who never graduated college – opted against law school instead to pursue a legal program in California that allows individuals to qualify for the bar exam under the mentorship of a licensed attorney.

“Six years ago, Kim Kardashian walked into this program with nothing but a fierce desire to fight for justice,” her mentor, attorney Jessica Jackson, said in one of the shared clips.

“No law school lectures, no ivory tower shortcuts, just determination and a mountain of case log books to read,” she said, noting that Kardashian dedicated “18 hours a week, 48 weeks a year for six straight years.”

“That’s a total of 5,184 hours of legal study. That’s time she carved out while raising four children, running businesses, filming television shows and showing up in courtrooms to advocate for others.”

Kardashian — who was shown hugging her mentors and showcasing her diploma — passed California’s First-Year Law Students’ Examination or the “baby bar” after taking the test four times in December 2021.

“The Kardashians” star still needs to pass the Bar Exam to practice law in the Golden State.

Photos of the celebratory luncheon captured her 5-year-old son, Psalm West, carrying a briefcase while sporting a tan suit and tie inspired by his late grandfather, attorney Robert Kardashian Sr.

Kardashian’s daughter, Chicago West, 7, was also seen wearing a black pinstripe suit, similar to her mom’s 2023 Harvard Business School look.

The momentous gathering also featured placemats made from Kardashian’s study flashcards.

“I am so proud of Kim,” Khloé Kardashian said in a video posted to her own Instagram account. 

“I just left her celebration lunch for graduating law school. I mean, I cannot believe this is years and years in the making. I’m so proud of her. This was just such a cool accomplishment, and I’m so proud.”
