Kim is currently following in her father's footsteps as she works to become a lawyer with a mission of reforming the criminal justice system. In December 2021, Kim learned she passed the First-Year Law Students' Examination aka the "baby bar" as Keeping Up With the Kardashians camera rolled.

She previously opened up about the advice her dad once gave her about getting into law, warning her it wouldn't be easy, 

"He once said to me, 'I think you'd be great at it,'" she recalled to Vogue in 2019. "'But I also think that it's super stressful and exhausting. So, if you want a stress-free life, maybe don't follow through with law school.''" 

She added, "He would've loved it so much, though. He would've been my study partner."
