Kim Kardashian wants to be a lawyer, and she’s even passed the “baby bar” exams after a few failed attempts. Kim’s lawyer aspiration has been hit by a storm, and if things get worse, her lawyer dream could end up in the trash can.

Kim Kardashian’s aspirations to become a lawyer could be jeopardized by charges mounted by the Security and Exchange Commission related to an alleged “pump and dump” scheme, experts say.
Former New York prosecutor and current criminal defense attorney Duncan Levin told The Post that Kardashian will likely be questioned about the SEC case if she tries to become a member of the bar – since aspiring lawyers must not only take the bar exam but frequently must also go before a character committee.
“This is a very serious issue,” said Levin of firm Levin & Associates, PLLC. “This is a violation of securities laws and when aspiring lawyers go before the bar they are judged on their character … this is most certainly something that would come up if she were to try to get admission to the bar.”
The reality television star and social media influencer agreed to pay $1.2 million in penalties and to cooperate with the SEC’s ongoing investigation into allegations that she promoted EMAX crypto tokens on Instagram in June 2021 without also letting her millions of followers know she was paid $250,000 for the plug.
In paying the SEC settlement, the 41-year-old “Kardashians” star didn’t admit or deny any wrongdoing, the commission said in an announcement.
“This might not ultimately stop her from becoming a member of the bar, but it is likely to raise a flag that must be dealt with,” Levin said.
Kardashian – who in December after four attempts passed California’s First-Year Law Students’ Examination or the “baby bar” – wants to become a lawyer to fight for prison reform.
