I went to law school and passed the bar the usual way. Good for her, doing this. But she's not doing something better than all of the lawyers on DCUM. Just something similar. |

Don't hate the player, hate the game. Kim didn't make the rules for becoming a lawyer in CA. |

Aliko Dagonte, who actually holds that title, is worth 11.4 billion. A little more than Kanye, who is worth 1.8 billion. |

Understand, please, that Ms. Kardashian has only passed the "baby bar" exam (after multiple tries). She has yet to pass the ACTUAL California BAR EXAM and won't be eligible to attempt that for 3+ more years. What is the "baby bar exam"? It's required for people studying law at a non-ABA accredited law school (there are many in CA), or for people in the "law office study program." (that's equivalent to Virginia's version of "reading the law.") Basically, they don't go to law school, but they read a lot of law cases and/or work in a law office. Kim couldn't hack it in an actual law school, so she is getting one-on-one tutoring to study for these two exams. If you are in either of these versions of legal education, you have to take the "baby bar" after your first year. https://www.calbar.ca.gov/Admissions/Examinations/First-Year-Law-Students-Examination You don't take the actual California Bar until you have done "law office study" for four years. If Ms. K can actually pass the California Bar exam --- (1) props to her!, and (2) bigger props to her trainers! (that is going to be one heavy lift!) 
"The First-Year Law Students' Examination (FYLSX), or "baby bar," is a one-day test given remotely in June and October. Not all law students have to take the baby bar. Law students completing their first year of law study in a juris doctor degree program at a State Bar-unaccredited registered law school, through the Law Office Study Program and those without two years of college work attending a Committee of Bar Examiners- or an American Bar Association-accredited law school must take the First-Year Law Students' Exam after completing their first year of law study. Law students who have been advanced to their second year of law study at an ABA or California-accredited law school and completed a minimum of 60 semester or 90 quarter units of undergraduate work are generally exempt from the exam. An applicant who is required to pass the First-Year Law Students’ Exam will not receive credit for any law study until the applicant passes the exam. Due to COVID-19, the Supreme Court directed the State Bar to implement rule and guideline changes that allow law students for whom the June 2020 FYLSX is one of the first three administrations after becoming eligible to take up to four administrations to pass the exam and claim credit for all law study to date. All other FYLSX takers who successfully completed their first year of law study at an unaccredited law school must take and pass the FYLSX within three administrations after first becoming eligible to take it. If the applicant passes subsequent to that, credit will be received only for the first year of law study." |

More on what is required of those who do "Law Office Study Program" :
California’s Law Office Study Program (LOSP) is grounded in State Bar rule 4.29 (www.rules.calbar.ca.gov). The requirements are uncomplicated, and the State Bar admissions office mainly serves as a registrar. The bar doesn’t supervise apprentices – that’s the task of their sponsors, who must be either a judge or an attorney and must have at least five years of good standing with the bar. The State Bar doesn’t even evaluate the curriculum that the sponsor and the student design. Sponsors may not claim MCLE credit for their mentoring. Here are the basics: LOSP students must find a sponsor, pay a $40 fee and submit a Notice of intent to Study Law in a Law Office or Judge’s Chamber to the bar’s Office of Admissions. Simply working for the sponsor won’t do. Law readers must actually follow a self-designed study course under the sponsor’s supervision for at least 18 hours a week, for four years over 48 consecutive weeks a year. The sponsor must give a written examination once a month and submit a semiannual report to the bar, along with a $30 fee, and the questions and answers of the monthly test. After the first year participants must pass the “baby bar,” or the California First Year Law Students’ Examination, give in June and October. Those who pass it within three attempts get credit for all study up to that point. If it takes more tries, they earn credit for only one year of study. Students must pass the Multistate Professsional Responsibility Exam. It’s give three times a year and can be taken any time after the first year of study. Four years of law office study qualifies participants to sit for the California Bar Examination, which is given in July and February. https://www.calbar.ca.gov/Admissions/Examinations/First-Year-Law-Students-Examination |

Is this just as difficult or more difficult than the "baby bar"?
"Students must pass the Multistate Professsional Responsibility Exam." |

The MPRE is usually take in addition to a state's actual bar exam (not talking about the "baby bar" exam Kim took). So she has to take the actaul California bar exam (I remember hearing it was one of the toughest ones when I was studying for the VA bar exam) + the MPRE. The CA bar exam, or any state's bar exam is harder than the MPRE. But you still have to pass both. I wouldn't be surprised if she decided she didn't need her law license before attempting the CA bar exam. |
