Kim Kardashian Reveals She Failed The Bar Exam

Kim Kardashian is opening up about a major setback in her ongoing legal journey — revealing that she didn’t pass the California Bar Exam.

The reality star and business mogul shared the news on her Instagram Stories earlier this week, writing, “Well… I’m not a lawyer yet. Six years into this law journey, and I’m still all in until I pass the bar. No shortcuts, no giving up — just more studying and even more determination.”

Kardashian explained that although she came close to passing, she’s using the experience as motivation to keep pushing forward. “I was so close this time, and that only motivated me even more,” she added.

The SKIMS founder began studying law back in 2018 through California’s apprenticeship program, which allows aspiring attorneys to train under a practicing lawyer rather than attend a traditional law school. In 2021, she passed the First-Year Law Students’ Examination — better known as the “baby bar” — after failing it three times.

This latest attempt was for the full California Bar Exam, the final step before earning her license to practice law. Though the result wasn’t what she hoped for, Kardashian made it clear she isn’t backing down.

Beyond her studies, Kim has continued her work in criminal justice reform, helping advocate for wrongfully incarcerated individuals and raising awareness about systemic issues in the prison system.

“Failing short isn’t failure — it’s fuel,” she reportedly wrote, emphasizing that this is just another chapter in her long-term goal of becoming a licensed attorney.
