Kim Kardashian reveals she's been studying 20 hours a week as she completes her first year of law studies
Reality TV star Kim Kardashian just gave an update on the progress of her law studies.
The 39-year-old shared that she works daily on her law studies for around 20 hours every week and has just completed her first year out of a four-year apprenticeship program in California. She is aiming to take the bar exam in 2022.
She told The Associated Press on January 18, Saturday, that her next step is taking the “baby bar,” so-called because it's a one-day exam. If she passes, she plans to study for another three years and then take the California bar exam.
Her late father, Rob Kardashian had been a prominent lawyer himself and had been part of a legal team that represented football star OJ Simpson in his 1995 trial. Kim shared her progress with her studies while sitting on a panel to promote her new documentary. The upcoming documentary will be aired on the crime channel Oxygen and has been titled 'Kim Kardashian West: The Justice Project'. The show will be released on April 5 and will feature the mother of four visiting prisons and working with legal experts on four cases of people they believe have been unfairly sentenced.
She shared the trailer onto her various social media platforms. In the trailer, she can be heard saying, "There is a mass incarceration problem in the United States." In another clip, she says, "People deserve a second chance."
An executive producer of The Justice Project, Vince DiPersio shared that the 'Keeping Up with The Kardashians' star was taking on a "fair amount of risk" by advocating for the release of prisoners. "She is a nationally known figure and she has a big brand. God forbid someone gets out and does something terrible, but Kim is willing to take that risk," he shared.
Kardashian is hoping that the documentary will help to convince viewers that there are some people who do deserve a second chance even if they had been involved in a violent crime. "You really have no idea what was on the other end and what led them to those decisions," she shared.
"I hope people can be more empathetic," she added.
