I’m no great fan of the Kardashians but I’m sick of seeing people bashing her for trying to be a better advocate. They’re going to hate her no matter what she does, as evidenced by the fact that getting an education apparently “makes people go hmm.”
I think what she’s doing is fine, but really can’t stand her bragging about she gets legal concepts in “two seconds”. She lacks humility. And I would feel the same about ANY new law student who said that.
+1 — good for her if she wants a law degree. It’s the superior attitude that’s the problem.
+1
She’s probably putting in more effort to advocate for the changes she wants to see than the keyboard warriors bashing her.
Look at Haley Moss. The Huffington Post article highlighted that she is the first practicing autistic lawyer, and she’s won a ton of awards. She will probably be MARRIED before us also, but that is b/c she is spectacular! The Kardashian’s father was a lawyer in the OJ case, but I wonder if they would really be up for doing all the work the we do. It’s not all fun and games, and they should know that b/f enrolling! YAY!!!
+1 I am looking forward to seeing Legally Brunette succeed.
Exactly this.
Good for her for wanting to be a more effective advocate.
But why take the easy (easier?) way out? Why not enroll in law school full or part time like everyone else who doesn’t have enough fame to find lawyers who can devote hundreds of hours to someone else’s education? Or do it, but acknowledge that it is your fame/money that makes it possible.
At least she’s doing something positive for the world.
I don’t think Kim ever graduated from college, so she would not be able to attend a traditional law school.
