Well, that's optimistic of you. LOL.

Based on the previous talk of like 9 people ever doing it this way, and the fact that she's who she is, I can't see it.  But hey, if she passes the baby bar in 2020, then more power to her.  I will eat my words.

With that information, her chances of passing the Bar would be higher if she did go to law school.

She has enough money to buy some of the best tutors/mentors in the country probably the world as well. I don’t doubt she’ll pass it to be honest. It’s also not the regular bar it’s the California bar which is most likely less difficult/complex than the regular bar.

State bars are the regular bar exams (unless you meant baby bar).

California is known to have one of the most difficult bar exams in the country, along with NY and I believe Florida

I've heard the baby bar is a b*tch, too, with a 20% pass rate.  It's for people who are going this route or through an un-accredited (via the ABA) law school.  If you're going to a regular law school, you don't take it.  I'm sure it's to slap down anyone who thinks they can bypass the system.

Kim K has made this a popular topic; I've been seeing it all over social media. It might lead to more people looking into reading the law, but I'm not sure if there are many lawyers out there wanting to take on apprentices. One might have a better chance if trained as a paralegal or legal assistant; then, the lawyer can get more work out of you. This is probably why so few are successful with this method. Who wants to deal with someone who needs to study for four years? If they're going to keep you around, they're going to make you work.

I sense that some people think she's not smart enough to pass the bar. I never criticize the smarts of people two orders of magnitude wealthier than I am.

I know, I know, what about people with inherited wealth? Maybe they aren't smart. But they had parents smarter than mine.

I don't ever assume that because you're rich, you're smart.  Also, she did inherit not only money, but fame.

She may have more knowledge of how social media works and can work that system to it's most advantageous for herself, but that doesn't equate in any way to passing the bar exam.  One kind of smarts has nothing to do with the other kind.

I don't know if she's dumb or smart because reality TV is mostly fake. She did go to college for a little while, and she was effective in getting a woman released from prison. I think those two things are more evidence of potential than simply being rich. Her rise to stardom actually came from a sex tape that was leaked by her ex-boyfriend. Her mother was the one who orchestrated the whole reality TV thing to capitalize off of the scandal.

I think she just asked Trump to pardon them, not sure if that was hard- but I'm glad for her that it was inspirational. I do believe that people should seek a purpose-driven life, so perhaps this really is giving her purpose. I'm not going to lie, doing this in private would be hard, but doing it in public? I hope she's smarter than she acts, b/c it feels a little like the basis of a NEW reality show....
