Congratulations are in order for reality TV star and businesswoman, Kim Kardashian, who has finally graduated from law school after six years.

The mother of four shared on her Instagram stories, celebrating her achievement with close friends and family, sharing excitedly that she has graduated after six years while putting on her beige graduation cap.

Kardashian shared that the reason behind her starting this journey was because of a video she saw on X.

“I mean, all of you guys have been on this journey with me, well, it started with the Twitter video I saw that popped up, and I was just dumbfounded,” she said.

The “Skims” owner began her law journey in 2018 with a law firm in San Francisco. In 2021, she took the “baby bar,” also known as the first-year law student's examination.

However, she revealed that she failed the baby bar three times in two years before finally passing it in 2021.

One of Kardashian’s mentors, Jessica Jackson, gave a speech sharing how inspiring her journey was.

“It’s an absolute honour to stand here today, not just as mentors but as witnesses to one of the most inspiring legal journeys we’ve ever seen.

“Six years ago, Kim Kardashian walked into this program with nothing but a fierce desire to fight for justice. No law school lectures, no ivory tower shortcuts, just determination and a mountain of case log books to read,” she said.

Jackson further added: “Over the course of this program, Kim has dedicated 18 hours a week, 48 weeks a year for six straight years. That's a total of 5 184 hours of legal study, that's time she carved out while raising four children, running businesses, filming television shows and showing up in courtrooms to advocate for others.”

The 44-year-old star's sisters, Khloe Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian-Barker, were also in attendance as they celebrated their sister’s achievement.

Khloe shared via her Instagram stories how proud she is of her sister.

“I am so proud of Kim. I just left her celebration lunch for graduating from law school. I mean, I cannot believe this is years and years in the making. I am so proud of her. This was such a cool accomplishment, and I am so proud. This was really inspiring and motivating. Such a beautiful day, so happy for her,” she shared.

Over the course of the years, the now-acclaimed actress has shown her law journey not only on social media but through their reality show “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” as she studied while having to navigate her businesses, public appearances as well as acting.

She has also been using her platform to advocate for prisoners who are wrongfully imprisoned to get lesser sentences or released through her “Prison-Reform Machine” programme.
