Kim Kardashian is getting closer to becoming an attorney in the state of California.

TMZ reported on Friday that the 44-year-old reality TV diva has taken a ‘pivotal test that’s required to practice law.’

The mother of four took the MPRE – Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination – on Wednesday, the site claimed.

The location was at a testing center in Alhambra, California, and Kim had to go in alone like any other regular person.

It is a key test on legal ethics and professional conduct. The site also shared that the test is necessary if she wants to take the bar.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians veteran passed the ‘baby bar’ exam in 2021 and reportedly plans to take the bar in 2026.

TMZ reported on Friday that the 42-year-old reality TV diva has taken a ‘pivotal test that’s required to practice law.’ Her law studies may be coming in handy in time for a showdown with Kanye West; seen in 2019

In 2018 Kim started her dream of wanting to become a lawyer like her father, the late Robert Kardashian who worked on OJ Simpson’s case.

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

Kim is smart to study the law, not just because she owns so many businesses like SKIMS and SKKN, but she also has some issues with her ex-husband Kanye West.

Kardashian is reportedly considering changing her custody agreement with West after he released a song featuring their eldest daughter, North, without her approval.

According to TMZ, Kardashian is seriously debating taking West – who now goes by Ye – to court to request a judge strip him of joint legal custody.

The former couple, who married in 2014, settled their divorce in 2022, agreeing to joint physical and legal custody of their four children: North, 11, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and five-year-old Psalm.

Physical custody is reportedly not an issue, as Kanye rarely sees his children, and Kim still wants them to have a good relationship with their father.

However, decision-making regarding the children has become a point of contention, TMZ’s report said.

The former couple’s divorce agreement states they must attend a private hearing with a judge if conflicts arise regarding their children.

Kim requested an emergency hearing with their lawyers, a mediator, and a judge after learning Kanye planned to release a song featuring North and rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. Seen in 2024

Kim requested an emergency hearing with their lawyers, a mediator, and a judge after learning Kanye planned to release a song featuring North and rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.

Although Kanye skipped the meeting, he reportedly agreed not to release the track, titled Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine.

However, the rapper released the song on X the following day, declaring men ‘make the final decision’. He also shared a text exchange with Kim, in which she opposed their daughter’s involvement with Combs, who is currently facing legal issues.

Kim apparently texted Kanye: ‘I asked you at the time if I can trademark her name. You said yes. When she’s 18, it goes to her. So stop.

‘I sent paperwork over so she wouldn’t be in the Diddy song to protect her.’

Kanye responded by asking Kim to ‘amend’ the legal papers or risk ‘going to war.’

He added: ‘And neither of us will recover from the public fallout. You’re going to have to kill me.’

The Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) is a two-hour, 60-question multiple-choice examination that is administered three times per year.

Developed by NCBE, the MPRE is required for admission to the bars of all but two US jurisdictions (Wisconsin and Puerto Rico).

(Note that Connecticut and New Jersey accept successful completion of a law school course on professional responsibility in lieu of a passing score on the MPRE.)

Because MPRE requirements vary from one jurisdiction to another, candidates are advised to check with the bar admission agency in the jurisdiction to which they seek admission before registering for the MPRE.

Passing scores are established by each jurisdiction.

The purpose of the MPRE is to measure candidates’ knowledge and understanding of established standards related to the professional conduct of lawyers.

The MPRE is not a test to determine an individual’s personal ethical values. Lawyers serve in many capacities: for example, as judges, advocates, counselors, and in other roles.

The law governing the conduct of lawyers in these roles is applied in disciplinary and bar admission procedures, and by courts in dealing with issues of appearance, representation, privilege, disqualification, and contempt or other censure, and in lawsuits seeking to establish liability for malpractice and other civil or criminal wrongs committed by a lawyer while acting in a professional capacity.

Select a jurisdiction for a summary of bar admission information specific to that jurisdiction and contact information for its bar admission agency.
