Did you know that Kim Kardashian West is studying law?

38-year-old beauty entrepreneur, reality TV star, social media queen, mother-of-three (soon to be four) and wife of Kanye West is nothing if not full of surprises. Almost every move she makes and has made since she first rose to public prominence has been unexpected.

Case in point: who saw her meeting with President Trump to discuss the release of Alice Marie Johnson from prison coming? No one. What’s more surprising is that she’s on a reality TV show, so fans feel like they’re privy to so much of her life, when does she have time to be working on other secret projects?

In the latest episode of Keeping Up with Kim Kardashian West we’ve learnt that the 38-year-old is basically the real life Elle Woods from Legally Blonde. In her cover interview with US Vogue, the reality star revealed that she’s studying law. And like anything Kardashian West does, she’s not doing it half-heartedly, she’s all in and working towards taking the notoriously tough bar exam in 2022.

This revelation has brought up so many questions, not the least of which is how is she studying law without the requisite undergraduate college degree to get into graduate law school? According to US Vogue, in four states, including California, there is another way into law school: an apprenticeship with a lawyer or a judge. This is the path Kardashian West is taking and has, per the interview, two “mentor” lawyers, Jessica Jackson and Erin Haney, who she studies with every week for the required 18 hours of “supervised study”.

This is her first year of studying law, but seems to be a natural at criminal law in particular: “…crim law I can do in my sleep. Took my first test, I got a 100. Super easy for me… The concepts I grasp in two seconds,” Kardashian West shared with US Vogue.

On the one hand, Kardashian West studying to be a lawyer actually makes sense. The reality star’s dad, the late Robert Kardashian, was a lawyer and famously represented OJ Simpson during his 1995 murder trial; there’s a legal legacy there.

But on the other hand, she’s already exceptionally busy between running her beauty empire, looking after her soon-to-be expanding family—Kardashian West and Kanye West are expecting their fourth baby by surrogate sometime in May—and appearing on her family’s reality TV show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians. How will she find the time to also become a lawyer?

“I had to think long and hard about this,” Kardashian West told US Vogue of her decision to study law, but she says that after the “really good result” with Alice Marie Johnson, she felt like she could do more if she knew more. “I just felt like I wanted to be able to fight for people who have paid their dues to society. I just felt like the [legal] system could be so different, and I wanted to fight to fix it, and if I knew more, I could do more.”

After this latest move, would anyone be surprised if Kim Kardashian West ran for president one day?
