Kim Kardashian is one step closer to becoming a fully-fledged attorney after finally passing the baby bar exam.
The 41-year-old reality star had failed the notoriously difficult law exam three times, including last year when she tested positive for Covid and suffered a high fever.
However on Monday, she proudly announced that she passed with flying colours bringing her nearer to fulfilling her dream of becoming a criminal justice lawyer.
In an Instagram post, Kim wrote: ‘OMFGGGG I PASSED THE BABY BAR EXAM!!!!
‘Looking in the mirror, I am really proud of the woman looking back today in the reflection.
‘For anyone who doesn’t know my law school journey, know this wasn’t easy or handed to me.
I failed this exam 3 times in 2 years, but I got back up each time and studied harder and tried again until I did it!!! (I did have COVID on the 3rd try w a 104 fever but I’m not making excuses😉).’
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star explained that she was warned by ‘top lawyers’ that the baby bar was ‘a close to impossible journey and harder than the traditional law school route but it was [her] only option’.
Kim went on to shout-out those who have helped her on her path so far, stating: ‘A big thank you to @vanjones68 who talked me into going to law school in the first place before introducing me to @jessicajackson and @edyhaney who have brought me along to watch their every move in the court room.
‘I respect them so much and appreciate you both for letting me tag along and ask all of the little questions along the way.’
She also noted the 10-hour days, four-hour daily Zoom sessions and in-person practice tests weekly that she spent with professors getting her knowledge up to scratch.
The Skims mogul then mentioned her late father Robert Kardashian, who was a criminal lawyer and famed for being a part of OJ Simpson’s legal ‘dream team’ during his 1995 murder trial.
‘I know my dad would be so proud and he would actually be so shocked to know that this is my path now but he would have been my best study partner,’ Kim wrote.

‘I am told he was notorious for making fun of people who didn’t pass on their first attempt like he did, but he would have been my biggest cheerleader!
‘Bottom line is don’t ever give up even when you are holding on by a thread, you can do it!!!!! Set your mind to it and get it done because it feels soooooo good once you get to the other side!’
