She described the setback as a motivation, not a defeat, thanking supporters and saying she will continue studying until she passes.
How this fits into a multi-year legal pursuit
Kardashian’s run at becoming a lawyer has stretched over several years. She started publicly studying law in 2019 and has followed a nontraditional legal route.
- She studied outside a traditional law school, using private tutors.
- She took and retook the so-called “baby bar” before passing.
- Her most recent attempt was for the full California Bar examination.
Earlier hurdles: the baby bar and health setbacks
Before tackling the full bar exam, Kardashian faced multiple failures on the First-Year Law Students’ Examination, commonly known as the baby bar.
She failed the baby bar several times before finally passing. One attempt was derailed by an illness; she reported contracting COVID-19 and enduring a high fever that affected her performance.
What she’s said about motivation and mentors
Kardashian has credited real-life legal work for inspiring her path. She often cites the prison case of Alice Marie Johnson as a pivotal moment that moved her to pursue law.
She has also acknowledged advice from practicing lawyers who called her path unusually difficult. Despite that, she has framed the journey as personally meaningful and worth the effort.
Family history and public expectations
Legal work runs in Kardashian’s family. Her late father, Robert Kardashian, was a prominent defense attorney who represented clients in high-profile cases.
That legacy has shaped public interest in her pursuit of a law career. Fans and critics alike have followed each exam result and milestone.
Timeline of notable milestones in her legal training
- 2018: Helped advocate for Alice Marie Johnson’s clemency.
- 2019: Announced she would study law and began apprenticeship-style training.
- 2021: Failed and later passed the baby bar after multiple tries.
- May (year reported): Celebrated receiving a law degree-like certification after completing required coursework.
- Most recent: Took the California State Bar and learned she did not pass this sitting.
Public statements and social media posts
Through posts and show appearances, Kardashian has kept supporters informed. She has shared raw reactions after failed attempts and elation after passing the baby bar.
Her messages emphasize perseverance: she frames setbacks as moments to study harder and press forward.
What the baby bar is and why it matters
The baby bar is a qualifying exam in California for law students who do not attend ABA- or state-accredited law schools. Passing it is a requirement to continue toward a law license in that track.
For those who study by apprenticeship or with private tutors, the baby bar is a major checkpoint. Kardashian’s path followed that alternative route.
What comes next for Kardashian and the process ahead
After a failed bar attempt, candidates often:
- Review their score reports to find weak areas.
- Adjust study plans and timelines.
- Register for the next exam window if eligible.
Kardashian stated she will return to study with renewed determination. She framed this latest result as temporary and part of a longer climb toward passing the bar.
Media coverage and public interest in her legal ambitions
Coverage has tracked both celebrity and substantive aspects of her journey. Reporters note the intersection of fame, reform advocacy, and a nontraditional legal education.
Her continuing effort feeds conversations about alternative routes to the bar and the challenges of balancing public life with rigorous exam prep.
