She didn't even finish high school. She was reading the law.

There's no reason. It's a good thing. Good for her.

I think it's great - and I'm someone who does not watch the Kardashians, finds their social media and social lives deeply weird, and took out $160k for law school only to discover I hated being a lawyer (but still had to pay those loans). So I have plenty of reasons to be dismissive!

She seems like she's got a major platform to do some good. She's also showing all kinds of people who might not have thought they could become lawyers, that it's possible for people who aren't DC nerd types. I think there's nothing but upside in that.

As far as I know, you still need to be able to pass a comprehensive Bar exam to be a practicing lawyer. Also, isn't CA like the only state where you can take the Bar exam without graduating from an actual accredited law school?

I am the PP - and yes, that's right. But whether other people want to pursue this path in California or enroll in law school and do it the traditional way, I think she's showing that this is a path open to a wider group of people.

That’s tough because it’s entirely up to the individual to structure their learning and synthesize all of it at once for a single exam. Very different than actual law school, where there is a lot more structure and support and your knowledge is tested on discrete subjects on separate tests over the course of the year. Kim’s track is definitely the harder way to gain legal knowledge.

I mean, I’m not going to lose sleep over this. She’s fine, and things will work out for her whether she retakes it or quits. The stakes are very low. I failed the California bar the first time I took it and I survived that with far fewer resources. But what she’s doing is objectively hard and I do think it’s admirable that she’s obviously working really hard at it. I feel for her.

This is not how my law school was...There was one final at the end of the semester.

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.

But this was not the actual "CA Bar exam." It was some "baby Bar exam" for people who have studied the law for one year. The "real" Bar exam is a comprehensive exam taken after someone has earned an entire law degree She is only on year one.

You don’t need to earn a law degree to sit for the exam in CA
