[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She spends 98% of the time on social media, what'd you expect? A vanity clown show.  Kinda hard to pass the bar exam when you are spending 3 hours at the pool trying to get the perfect duck lips bikini shot.[/quote]

She didn’t do too bad considering the CA bar exam is the hardest in the nation.

She got like a 474 and it’s a 520 to pass? She did that while managing multiple businesses, four kids during a pandemic, and a divorce from a husband going through a mental breakdown.[/quote]

No, a 474 on a 560 to pass.  That's not good.[/quote]

Did she pass or not?  I thought she passed this time. [/quote]

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.

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!) :roll:

"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."[/quote]
