Kim Kardashian Takes California Bar Exam: A Star’s Legal Journey Begins
Jaden Patel here, your humble narrator of life’s more improbable events, where reality often outpaces fiction. Today’s episode: a global celebrity, famous for a certain viral video and a media empire, attempts to pass one of the nation’s most notoriously brutal exams. Yes, you guessed it — Kim Kardashian recently took the California bar exam. And no, it wasn’t a surprise pop quiz on Instagram.
Let’s start with the basics: Kim Kardashian took the California bar exam in late July 2025. It’s a two-day marathon of legal knowledge, featuring 5 essay questions, a 90-minute performance test, and 200 multiple-choice questions. The exam is notoriously grueling, and for good reason — it’s meant to separate those who can practice law from those who just look good doing it.
Now, if you’re picturing Kim sitting in a packed convention center surrounded by anxious law grads, clutching highlighters and muttering about torts, you might be mistaken. Sources say she likely took the test under private proctoring — a post-pandemic accommodation that allows for more controlled testing environments. If true, it makes sense. After all, privacy has always been her brand’s middle name.
But this wasn’t her first legal hurdle. Before even qualifying to take the bar, Kim had to pass the “baby bar” — officially known as the First-Year Law Students’ Exam. She passed it on her fourth try in December 2021, proving that persistence, if nothing else, is a valuable trait in both law and life.
She also completed a six-year apprenticeship, a requirement for those who, like her, didn’t attend law school. She wrapped that up on May 21, 2025, and celebrated with a backyard graduation ceremony — because if you’re going to become a legal apprentice, you might as well do it with confetti.
Of course, the timing of it all is impressive — or baffling, depending on how you look at it. In the months leading up to the bar exam, Kim was jet-setting across the globe, filming a TV show, attending the Bezos wedding in June, and giving award-winning speeches in Venice, Italy. For most people, prepping for the bar means a two-month hibernation with casebooks and caffeine IV drips. For Kim? Just another season in her whirlwind life.
As for the odds of passing, California’s bar exam is notoriously tough. The July 2024 pass rate was 53.8%, which means Kim’s chances are better than a coin flip — but not by much. Results will be released on November 7th to test-takers directly, with the State Bar making them public on November 9th at 6 PM.
So, what happens next? If she passes, Kim will officially be a licensed attorney in California — a title that could open new doors in her criminal justice advocacy work. If not, well, she’ll have plenty of company. And given her track record, don’t be surprised if she comes back swinging — with a revised study schedule and a custom bar exam merch line.
Either way, this is more than just a celebrity flex. It’s a story of determination, access, and the evolving paths to professional success. And whether you’re rooting for her or rolling your eyes, one thing’s for sure: Kim Kardashian continues to redefine what it means to build an empire — one legal brief at a time.
