Kim Kardashian celebrates completion of law degree after 6 years at surprise graduation ceremony

Congratulations are in order for Kim Kardashian.

The Skims founder took to her Instagram Story on Wednesday to celebrate her graduation from law school after six years

“All of you guys have been on this journey with me,” she said in her speech during a private commencement ceremony hosted by family and friends.

Kardashian, 44, explained that her desire to study law began after feeling “dumbfounded” watching a video on Twitter.

The reality star dolled up in a gray sweater, leather skirt, black stockings and white pumps for the special occasion.

Another video showed her putting on a tan graduation cap.

She beamed as one of her mentors called her law journey “the most inspiring.”

“Six years ago, Kim Kardashian walked into this program with nothing but a fierce desire to fight for justice. No law school lectures, no ivory tower shortcuts, just determination,” her mentor said.

She went on to say that Kardashian dedicated “18 hours a week, 48 weeks a year for six straight years.” 

“That’s a total of 5,184 hours of legal study,” she said. “That’s time she carved out while raising four children, running businesses, filming television shows and showing up in courtrooms to advocate for others.”

Another clip showed the “Kardashians” star hugging her mentors and holding her diploma.

A sneak peek of the celebratory luncheon revealed that Kardashian’s study flashcards had been turned into placemats.

The mom of four also shared a photo of her son Psalm West wearing a tan suit and tie inspired by his late grandfather, attorney Robert Kardashian Sr.

Another photo showed the 5-year-old carrying a briefcase, while Kardashian’s 7-year-old daughter, Chicago West, wore a black pinstripe suit inspired by her mom’s 2023 look at Harvard Business School.

An insider told Us Weekly that Kardashian’s graduation ceremony was a surprise.

The businesswoman was reportedly told she would be attending a “regular family brunch” when her loved ones surprised her.

“They are all excited and proud of her and wanted to surprise her to celebrate this accomplishment,” the insider said. “Her law mentors are also surprising her, and she has no clue they will be there.”

The outlet reported that Kardashian has passed the multistate professional responsibility exam and can now move on to the bar exam, which will allow her to practice law in California.

Kardashian shared she embarking on her law school journey in 2019.

The “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum has been candid about her progress, admitting she failed the “baby bar” exam three times before passing the test in 2021.

During a 2022 interview with Vogue Hong Kong, she revealed she hoped to one day open a “successful law firm.”
