Although many people have dragged Kim Kardashian for trying to become a lawyer, she isn't letting the haters get to her. She has been quietly pursuing her career and it's actually going well so far.
Although many people have dragged Kim Kardashian for trying to become a lawyer, she isn't letting the haters get to her. She has been quietly pursuing her career and it's actually going well so far.
In fact, she plans on taking the bar exam in 2022.
So, yeah, it's happening.
"As my first year is almost coming to an end I am preparing for the baby bar, a mini version of the bar, which is required when studying law this way."
"You can create your own lanes, just as I am."
Luckily for Kim, there are alternative routes to pursuing a career in law in the state of California.
"It’s true I did not finish college. You need 60 college credits, I had 75, to take part in “reading the law”, which is an in office law school being apprenticed by lawyers. For anyone assuming this is the easy way out, it’s not," she added.
"And I’m sitting in the Roosevelt Room with, like, a judge who had sentenced criminals and a lot of really powerful people and I just sat there, like, Oh, [expletive]. I need to know more," she explained.
"I would say what I had to say, about the human side and why this is so unfair. But I had attorneys with me who could back that up with all the facts of the case."
"It's never one person who gets things done," she said. "It's always a collective of people, and I've always known my role, but I just felt like I wanted to be able to fight for people who have paid their dues to society."
"There are times I feel overwhelmed and when I feel like I can’t do it but I get the pep talks I need from the people around me supporting me. I changed my number last year and disconnected from everyone because I have made this strict commitment to follow a dream of mine—it’s never too late to follow your dreams."
Aside from Alice Marie Johnson, Kim has been helping release a surprising number of inmates right under our noses.
This is all a part of the "90 Days of Freedom" campaign launched by Kim's lawyer, Brittany K. Barnett.
So far, we've known of a few major cases that Kim has backed.
But as we're just finding out, that list is actually much longer.
Jamelle was 31 years old when he was convicted for possession of cocaine.
Thankfully, he is now back with his family — transitioning back into society.
Eric was arrested on a drug charge when he was 29 — harshly sentenced to life without parole.
While Kim has the wheels in motion to become a lawyer herself, she and Brittany are working on the release of several more inmates.
Let us know what you think about Kim's new career aspirations!
