Just over 50 percent of first-time exam takers pass the California bar — will Kim Kardashian be one of them? North West’s mom reportedly sat for the exam in July, per TMZ, and now all she has to do is wait for the results to come out in mid-November. Kardashian began following in her father Robert Kardashian’s footsteps back in 2019, with an apprenticeship rather than the Elle Woods route, traditional law school. In order to sit for the test, she had to pass both the “baby bar,” which she did on her fourth try in 2021, and the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam, which she passed earlier this year. Then, after COVID-19 delayed her plans by two years, Kardashian “graduated” in May 2025, surrounded by family, mentors, and CNN’s Van Jones, who thanked her for her advocacy concerning prison reform.
On August 28, as news broke of her attempt at the bar, Kardashian was in Jeff Bezos’s wedding locale, Venice, accepting a Diane von Furstenberg Award for her ongoing criminal-justice work. The honor was presented by Chris Young, one of two people Kardashian personally went to President Trump about in regard to clemency. Young served 11 years for a low-level drug offense before the president commuted his sentence in 2021. Asked by Variety if she would do the same for the Menendez brothers, Kardashian first clarified “the governor is really in charge of that decision” (someone’s been studying), then added, “I would go to any administration and any White House to fight for the rights of people I believe in.” Just think of what she could do with the word esquire after her name.
