Reality television personality and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian has revealed she did not pass the July 2025 California bar examination. The 45-year-old shared the news with her followers on November 8, framing the setback as motivation to continue her efforts. She stated that coming close to passing has increased her determination to eventually succeed.
Kardashian is pursuing a legal career through California's apprenticeship pathway, which required her to previously pass a preliminary examination. Her journey has involved balancing study with her business ventures and advocacy work, particularly in criminal justice reform. She has previously credited this reform work and the legacy of her father as key inspirations.
The bar exam is known for its difficulty and low pass rates. Kardashian indicated she plans to retake the test, with the next opportunity scheduled for February 2026.
