Kim Kardashian is one step closer to becoming a lawyer.
On Monday the reality star, 41, shared that she passed her baby bar law exam on the fourth try. She was celebratory about the news and proud of herself for not giving up along her unusual path into law.
"OMFGGGG I PASSED THE BABY BAR EXAM!!!!" she posted on Twitter Monday morning along with a bathroom glamour shot. "Looking in the mirror, I am really proud of the woman looking back today in the reflection. For anyone who doesn’t know my law school journey, know this wasn’t easy or handed to me."

The mom of four, who is going through a divorce from Kanye West, noted that she "failed this exam 3 times in 2 years, but I got back up each time and studied harder and tried again until I did it!!! (I did have COVID on the 3rd try w a 104 fever but I’m not making excuses)."
The prison reform advocate explained that in California, "the way I’m studying law you need to take 2 bar exams." The "baby bar," which is really called the First-Year Law Students' Examination (FYLSE), "was just the first one but with the harder pass rate."
She said top lawyers told her the way she's studying law "was a close to impossible journey and harder than the traditional law school route." However, "it was my only option and it feels so so sooooo good to be here and on my way to achieving my goals."
Kardashian thanked Van Jones for encouraging her to pursue law as well as her two mentor lawyers, Jessica Jackson and Erin Haney of #cut50 (an Oakland, Calif.,-based prison reform organization co-founded by Jackson and Jones) and the law school prep course professors she worked with.
She wrote, "10 hour days, daily 4 hour zooms, our in person practice tests week after week. We did it!"
Kardashian noted her late father, famed O.J. Simpson attorney Robert Kardashian, would "be so proud." Though she added, "I am told he was notorious for making fun of people who didn’t pass on their first attempt like him, but he would’ve been my best cheerleader."
