Kim Kardashian does not hold a traditional Juris Doctor (JD) degree from an accredited law school, as she chose an alternative path to legal training. Rather than attending a standard three-year university law program, she pursued a legal apprenticeship under California's "law office study" program, which permits individuals to study law under the direct supervision of practicing attorneys and judges. After completing thousands of required study hours and passing the First-Year Law Students' Examination—commonly known as the "baby bar"—she completed her multi-year apprenticeship training framework to prepare for taking the official California bar examination and advocating for criminal justice reform.
