BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., May 22: Kim Kardashian has officially completed her law school program after a six-year journey, though her achievement was met with some light-hearted trolling from fans. The 44-year-old reality star celebrated the milestone with a backyard ceremony, where she was the only student. She proudly shared a video of the event on Instagram, but many followers pointed out the lengthy time it took her to finish a program that typically lasts three years.

In the post, Kardashian, dressed in a grey top, black mini skirt, and beige graduation cap, sat beside a podium as her mentors gave speeches, praising her dedication. Her family, including her four children, watched the ceremony. One of her mentors even described Kardashian's journey as "one of the most inspiring legal journeys we've ever seen."

Kardashian did not attend a traditional law school. In California, individuals can become lawyers by completing the four-year Law Office Study Program (LOSP), also known as "reading the law," as opposed to attending a formal law school. She still needs to pass the Bar Exam to practice law in California.

Her mentors commended her "fierce desire to fight for justice" and emphasized that she completed the program without taking shortcuts, balancing her legal studies with raising four children, running businesses, filming TV shows, and advocating in courtrooms. Another mentor highlighted Kardashian's advocacy for clemency, her efforts to reunite families, and her focus on addressing critical issues within the legal system. CNN's Van Jones also attended the ceremony, praising Kardashian for her criminal justice reform work.

Kim later approached the podium to receive her diploma, with her younger children—Chicago, seven, Saint, nine, and Psalm, five—watching proudly. However, not all fans were impressed, with some humorously commenting on the time it took her to finish the program. "Six years to finish her 'bar prep' program?" one fan wrote, while others remarked that it typically takes three years to graduate from law school.

Despite the online teasing, some fans defended Kardashian, noting the challenges she faced while building her business empire, raising her kids, and studying law. "She was building Skims, raising four kids, running an empire, and studying law… this is her legally brunette era, and I support it," one supporter wrote.

Kardashian's sisters, Khloe and Kourtney, shared posts celebrating her accomplishment. Ivanka Trump, a close friend, also congratulated Kardashian, calling her her "favorite law school graduate." For the past six years, Kim has dedicated around 18 hours a week to her legal studies, totaling over 5,000 hours. Her hard work paid off when she passed the "baby bar" exam in 2021. Kim's journey was extended due to the COVID-19 pandemic and her busy schedule, but she also passed the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination earlier this year, a key part of her program.

Kim celebrated her graduation at a Beverly Hills hotel in a chic outfit, including white heels and black stockings. It's unclear if her eldest daughter, North West, 11, was present at the ceremony. Kim also shared a tribute to her late father, Robert Kardashian, a renowned attorney who gained national attention for his role in the O.J. Simpson trial. He passed away in 2003.

The reality star also posted a sweet photo of her son Psalm in a suit enjoying ice cream, writing, "My babies were there to see my graduate." Her daughter Chicago also wore a suit for the occasion. Kim also shared a photo of the placemats at the celebration, which were replicas of her study flashcards.

Looking ahead, Kardashian plans to take the Bar Exam in 2026. She first expressed her dream of becoming a lawyer like her father in 2018 and began her apprenticeship in California in mid-2019.
