Kim Kardashian studying to become attorney

That's great. America doesn't have nearly enough attorneys. Let's have more!

She can become a defense attorney for the stars!

Following in the footsteps of her Dad. Let's hope she doesn't have the same misguided loyalties regarding friends, as he did.

Does everyone remember why she became famous?

Because Andy Warhol made a prediction...

Hey, she’s got the money, go for it. Admire the woman.

It'd be nice if she got her law degree and settled down to a real working life in a suburb somewhere, representing real people with real problems.

The elite tend to look after their own, with a few honorable exceptions, natch.

But hey, she may turn out to surprise us all.

I always welcome a shock reaffirmation of my faith in humanity, despite it being under severe strain ;-)

@zichi: Yes, with such a well-padded portfolio of impressive assets, she is sure to go far(ther).

But some states including California do allow would-be attorneys to intern in a law firm for four years before taking the bar exam.

Yeah, it's true. Wish I had known that before going to law school.

You know what, I find the Kardasshians as annoying as the next person, but if Kim actually passes the bar, then more power to her. Maybe she'll actually do something more productive than just being famous for being famous.

She's had more than her 15 minutes. Seems like 15 lifetimes.

It'd be nice if she got her law degree and settled down to a real working life in a suburb somewhere, representing real people with real problems. Is that gonna happen, do you think?

Inflated.

For once in her life she would have a JOB. If she passes the bar (honestly) then great. She would really be earning money. I just hope she doesn't become the next Sarah Palin.

We need someone to replace Michael Avenatti.

Is passing the Bar something you can do without a formal law degree? There are lots of highly skilled positions that require BOTH classwork and on the job training, but whenever someone skips the classwork, they are missing some very important background.

Engineers can learn on the job, but would you want someone who doesn't know calc2 and finite element techniques designing an aircraft wing?

Medical doctors learn on the job, but I think everyone would agree that those years of medical school are critical for working through diagnosis trees and techniques.

A few months of training to become a paralegal, doing transcriptions and case summaries is fine. But would you want a lawyer who hadn't studied, in-depth, hundreds of legal cases and application to the laws as written?
