Kim Kardashian is not giving up on becoming a lawyer. But she is stepping back for now.
According to new reports, Kim skipped the February California Bar Exam and also will not take the July exam either. Insiders say she wants more time before trying again.
And honestly, the decision sounds less shocking once you look at everything already on her plate.
“She Wants To Feel Ready”
Sources close to Kim say the issue was not motivation. It was timing.
“Kim has a packed schedule… she decided it’s best to skip this round of the bar exam and focus on taking it again when she feels ready.”
That part matters because people online often treat her legal journey like a publicity stunt. But this sounds more serious than that.
The California Bar Exam is brutal. Months of preparation. Constant studying. Long testing days.
Most people stop everything to focus on it.
Kim never really had that luxury.
The Pressure Around Her Is Different
The pressure is not just academic. It is public.
Every failed attempt becomes headlines. Every delay becomes a debate online.
Sources say that attention also played a role in her decision.
“There are so many eyes on her.”
That probably understates it.
Very few people take the bar exam while simultaneously filming TV shows, running companies, attending fashion events, raising children, and being followed by millions online.
Whether people like Kim or not, that level of scrutiny changes things.
She Already Failed Before, And Came Back
This is not the first setback.
Kim famously failed the “baby bar” multiple times before finally passing in 2021.
At the time, critics mocked her constantly. She still kept going.
That history is important because it shows she usually does not walk away when things get difficult.
And according to insiders, she still plans to take the exam again. Just not until at least 2027.
Why Becoming A Lawyer Matters To Her
This is not random celebrity cosplay for Kim.
Her interest in law started after helping advocate for prison reform cases, including Alice Marie Johnson’s release.
She has repeatedly connected the journey to her late father, Robert Kardashian Sr..
“I know my dad would be so proud.”
That emotional connection seems to be part of why she keeps returning to this goal despite the setbacks.
