Kim Kardashian is ready to give up her “Kim K” persona 10 years from now.
The reality star said she wants to be a trial lawyer after taking the bar exam in July during her appearance on “The Graham Norton Show” Friday.
“I will be qualified in two weeks. I hope to practice law,” she shared.
“Maybe in 10 years I think I’ll give up being Kim K and be a trial lawyer,” she continued. “That’s what I really want.”
Kardashian, 45, celebrated earning her law school degree after six years in May. During a private commencement ceremony hosted by family and friends, a mentor spoke about the mother of four’s hard work.
“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,” the mentor shared in footage Kardashian posted on her Instagram Story.
The mentor noted Kardashian dedicated “18 hours a week, 48 weeks a year for six straight years.”
“That’s a total of 5,184 hours of legal study,” she said. “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 “Kardashians” star first revealed she was studying law in a 2019 interview with Vogue. She shared that she felt inspired by “seeing a really good result” with Alice Marie Johnson, the prisoner she helped get released.
“I had to think long and hard about this,” she said.
“The White House called me to advise to help change the system of clemency, 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, s–t. I need to know more,’” she recalled. “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; 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,” she continued. “I just felt like the system could be so different, and I wanted to fight to fix it, and if I knew more, I could do more.”
The Skims founder has been candid about her progress with fans, admitting she failed the “baby bar” exam three times before passing the test in 2021.
During a 2022 interview with Vogue Hong Kong, she revealed she hoped to one day open a “successful law firm.”
Kardashian’s late father, Robert Kardashian, was a successful attorney. He gained fame as O.J. Simpson’s friend and defense attorney during the actor’s highly publicized 1995 murder trial, in which Simpson was eventually found not guilty of murdering his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman.
