During my preparation for the bar exam, I witnessed a friend experimenting with coffee brewed from caffeinated water. In hindsight, that seems far more reasonable compared to the unconventional methods employed by Kim Kardashian. Recently, Kardashian faced the disappointment of failing the bar exam, yet she can take comfort in knowing that she likely possesses more legal acumen than the individuals responsible for creating All’s Fair. Kardashian has pinpointed a crucial flaw in her preparation strategy: she relied on a group of psychics for guidance.
This raises concerns about a new dimension of ineffective assistance of counsel.

Psychic: The spirits are telling me to acknowledge… does the letter M have meaning?
Kardashian: Yes! Mary.
Psychic: And Mary has passed?
Kardashian: Yes… and she was a life in being at the time the interest was created!
Kardashian remains committed to her goal of becoming a licensed attorney in California—despite not having completed an undergraduate degree—by participating in the California Law Office Study Program. This apprenticeship allows candidates to take the bar exam after gaining practical experience under the supervision of a qualified attorney, rather than attending a traditional law school. This path has a rich history in the legal profession, reminiscent of how Abraham Lincoln entered the field. Unlike Lincoln, however, Kardashian’s method includes sharing selfies that emphasize her appearance while expressing frustration over complex torts.
Or did he? It’s worth noting that historical records from Lincoln’s time are often inconsistent.
After successfully passing the baby bar, Kardashian now faces the formidable challenge of the full bar exam.
The California Bar exam is notorious for its difficulty, often testing the stamina and resolve of aspiring lawyers. However, that does not imply that invoking actual spirits would provide any advantage in this rigorous testing environment. One must wonder, is the next step going to involve some sort of spiritual consultation to determine civil rights issues based on the insights of a 17th-century witch hunter?
In all fairness, there is no concrete evidence suggesting that Kardashian substituted professional bar preparation with psychic consultations. Nevertheless, relying on metaphysical affirmations may not create the optimal mental environment for success. While we are not attributing her failure solely to misplaced confidence from psychic advice, it certainly did not help her case.
Kardashian’s ambition to practice law without following the conventional educational route epitomizes the essence of celebrity privilege. However, it is essential to recognize that she has likely contributed more to criminal justice reform than many political figures who campaign on these issues. The underlying challenge in Kardashian’s pursuit of the Esq. title is that she might not actually need it. She possesses the skills, vast resources, and a network of adept attorneys ready to assist her in fulfilling her objectives.
On Wednesday, the brand Skims announced the successful completion of a significant $225 million capital raise, resulting in a valuation of $5 billion. This funding round was spearheaded by Goldman Sachs Alternatives, with contributions from BDT & MSD Partners‘ affiliated funds. Skims plans to allocate these funds towards enhancing its physical retail presence and expanding internationally. The company anticipates reaching over $1 billion in net sales by 2025.
Ultimately, the individuals she aims to support are likely indifferent to whether she is their lawyer or leading a legal non-profit organization that provides them with essential representation.
