THE PATH TO LAWYER IS DIFFERENT AND I’M LOVING IT.

Recently I just saw a post that Kim Kardashian passed the baby bar exam in California. She explained how her process is different than the traditional route which would normally include 3 years of law school after first obtaining a bachelor’s degree. 

Since Kim is a megastar with no college experience becoming a lawyer did not align with her current status.

Thankfully she wishes to practice in a state that allows an alternative route, which she explains how she has to take the “baby bar exam”, topics that typically involve first year law school subjects, then she has to take full blown California Bar Exam.

Which for those who don’t know the exam is known for its extreme difficulty. I mean make you want to pull your hair out type of hard!

Which makes Kim’s journey even more inspiring. We need people like Kim to become a lawyer. We need people like ME to become a lawyer. Why? Because me and Kim aren’t your typical law students.

Kim father may have been the famous Robert Kardashian but initially that did not predetermine her to be a lawyer.

Kim started out running with Paris Hilton, having the infamous tape, posing for KING magazine to becoming a billionaire icon. 

When the average person think of lawyer you may think of a bland person with no swagger, they just go to court all day and defend criminals. Everyone assumes you’re a criminal lawyer when they find out you have a career in law.

Anyways, they don’t think of a person like me becoming a lawyer. They don’t think of a black man from E.7Mile Detroit who also draw, rap, write books,blogs/vlogs, basically everything artistic under the sun to do something as cut and dry as law. 

But the law is complex and has many sides to its profession the same way a human being is typically not one dimensional.

Kim isn’t going to Harvard, becoming law review president, and landing summer associate positions.

No she is forging her own path through an organic passion for freeing the wrongly incarcerated. 

Over the past few years she has lobbied for the freedom of several people, including Alice Marie Johnson who was granted clemency by President Trump. When Kim passes the California Bar Exam and become a licensed attorney I know it will inspire possibly millions of young ladies to become lawyers. Yes simply for the fact that Kim did it. Some people went to law school just because they saw legally blonde, influence is really that simple. See it Believe it.

When Kim becomes a licensed attorney she once again proves that the criticism and insults she had thrown her way do not define her in any shape or form. In fact, they refine her probably giving her more fuel and ammunition to prove to herself, the world, and even her father that the path she chose may not have been the one for everybody but it was definitely the right one for her!

Good Luck Kim.
