Kim Kardashian has finally reached the end of her law school program after a six-year pursuit, but fans were quick to poke fun with similar reactions.

The 44-year-old reality TV star marked the milestone with a backyard graduation ceremony—where she stood as the sole graduate—and shared the event on Instagram. However, many comments humorously called out the extended duration it took her to finish a typically three-year program.

The mother of four was photographed wearing a grey top, black mini skirt, and a beige graduation cap, seated beside a podium as her mentors delivered speeches of commendation. Her family and children were there to witness the celebration.

One of her mentors even called it ‘one of the most inspiring legal journeys we’ve ever seen.’ 

Kardashian didn’t attend traditional law school. In California, individuals can become lawyers by completing a four-year Law Office Study Program (LOSP), also known as ‘reading the law,’ instead of going to law school. She still needs to pass the Bar Exam to practice law in the state.

Her mentor went on to speak about Kim’s ‘fierce desire to fight for justice’ and noted the star did not take any shortcuts and was full of ‘determination.’ 

She added Kim finished the program while ‘raising four children, running businesses, filming television shows, and showing up in courtrooms to advocate for others.’ 

Another mentor spoke about how Kim has ‘advocated for clemency, helped reunite families, and brought national attention to the most broken parts of our legal system.’ 

CNN’s Van Jones also appeared at the ceremony, praising her for her criminal justice efforts. 

Kim later approached the podium to get her diploma, as her younger three kids — Chicago, seven, Saint, nine, and Psalm, five — watched. 

However, not all fans were impressed, with some joking about how long it took Kim to finish.

‘Lmao 6 years to finish her “bar prep” program,’ one wrote.

‘And it only took her double the amount of time!’ 

‘Gurl 6 years for a law school.’ 

‘Girl it takes THREE. You didn’t graduate, you just caught up.’

‘Mind you law school is supposed to take 3 years.’

‘Took her long enough.’

‘Is it supposed to take this long?’ someone else asked, while another joked that Kim must have only taken one class per semester. 

‘To do what exactly?’ another questioned. 

However others were more understanding, with one writing, ‘she was building skims, raising four kids, running an empire and studying law…this is her legally brunette era and i support it.’

Her sister Khloe Kardashian shared a clip about the ceremony, expressing how proud she is of Kim for completing the journey. 

Olde sister Kourtney Kardashian also celebrated, posing in a graduation cap in an Instagram snap. 

For the past six years, Kim has dedicated roughly 18 hours a week to studying law, totaling more than 5,000 hours. Her efforts paid off when she passed the ‘baby bar’ back in 2021. 

Kim’s process took longer than four years due to the COVID-19 pandemic and her busy schedule. 

Kim had already passed the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination back in March — a big exam for her program — sources told TMZ. 

The star marked her graduation with a celebration at Beverly Hills hotel. 

Kim’s chic look for the day was completed with white heels and black stockings. 

It’s unclear if her eldest daughter North West, 11, was present.

Kim shares all four of her kids with ex-husband Kanye West, 47.

The star’s late father, legendary attorney Robert Kardashian, was clearly on her mind during the special day, as she shared a photo of him.

He gained national recognition in the mid-1990s for his involvement in O.J. Simpson’s murder trial, where he served as a friend and defense attorney on Simpson’s legal ‘Dream Team.’

He passed away in 2003 from esophageal cancer. He was 59 years old. 

Kim also shared an adorable snap of her son Psalm in a suit enjoying some ice cream, and proudly wrote, ‘my babies were there to see my graduate.’ 

Daughter Chicago was also clad in a suit to watch her mom graduate. 

Kim also showed a photo of the placemats at the celebration, which were versions of her study flash cards. 

The reality TV star reportedly plans to take the bar exam in 2026.

In 2018 Kim started her dream of wanting to become a lawyer like her father.

She started her law apprenticeship in the state of California in mid 2019.
