Kim Kardashian is one step closer to becoming a lawyer, your honor.
The Kardashians star took the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE) March 27, multiple outlets report. While the two-hour test is not part of the bar exam, passing it is a mandatory step to practicing law in California. Indeed, according to The National Conference of Bar Examiners, the purpose of the MPRE is to "measure candidates' knowledge and understanding of established standards related to the professional conduct of lawyers."
E! News has reached out to Kim Kardashian’s rep for comment and has yet to hear back.
While Kim hasn't yet taken the bar exam, the test to obtain a law license in a specific jurisdiction, she did pass the so-called "baby bar" back in 2021 after failing the test three times prior.
"For anyone who doesn't know my law school journey, know this wasn't easy or handed to me," she wrote on Instagram at the time. "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!!!"
The SKIMS founder also reflected on what her late father Robert Kardashian—who famously served as one of O.J. Simpson's defense attorneys during his 1995 murder trial—would think about her following in his footsteps by embarking on her journey to becoming a lawyer.
"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 remarked. "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!"
Kim—who began pursuing law in 2018 when she enrolled in a four-year apprenticeship with a San Francisco law firm, focusing on criminal justice reform—went on to share an inspiring message to anyone hoping to achieve their goals against the odds.
"Bottom line is don't ever give up even when you are holding on by a thread, you can do it!!!!!," she wrote. "Set your mind to it and get it done because it feels soooooo good once you get to the other side!"
