Kim Kardashian, the celebrity businesswoman and reality-TV star, climbs the bifurcated ladder of law education with the same struggles as any average law students. Ever since 2019, Kardashian’s journey to become a lawyer has been closely followed by legal professionals and law students alike, with her candid reflection of the trials and challenges bridging the gap between her celebrity status and typical law students.
The journey has been far from smooth. The aspiring attorney had failed the baby bar exam thrice before she finally passed. These repeated failures and her perseverance humanized her struggles to the legal fraternity, drawing parallels to the difficulties all law students face.
As the new academic year is rolling in, Kardashian is back at it, and rightly, her Instagram updates are in-sync with a vibe deeply understood by law students – the strain of their loved ones besieging them with legal queries. The reminder here should be clear for everyone; what is being dispensed is legal information, not legal advice.
Every new academic year brings in its own set of challenges, and we wish all the law students, including Kim Kardashian, the very best of luck for the year ahead, surpassing their individual hurdles and inching closer towards their goal of acing the bar exam.
It’s quite a sight to witness a high-profile celebrity sharing the same struggles as average law students, reminding us that every journey of knowledge and success comes with its own set of trials and tribulations. The original piece in ‘Above the Law’ shares further insights for those interested.
