Turns out some states, including California, don't require a law school degree to pass the bar.

By Sonia Rao Sonia Rao Pop culture reporter Email Bio Follow April 10 at 4:49 PM There are plenty of descriptors that can precede Kim Kardashian West’s name: reality star, business mogul, professional influencer and . . . aspiring criminal justice lawyer?
“First year of law school, you have to cover three subjects: criminal law, torts, and contracts,” Kardashian told Vogue. “To me, torts is the most confusing, contracts the most boring, and crim law I can do in my sleep. Took my first test, I got a 100. Super easy for me. The reading is what really gets me. It’s so time-consuming. The concepts I grasp in two seconds.”
The practice of “reading the law” dates from the days of Thomas Jefferson, who, according to a decades-old Washington Post story, “became a lawyer in the 1760s after many hours reading the Virginia code under the tutelage of a prominent lawyer and legislator.” Vogue’s Van Meter pointed out that law degrees weren’t even “a thing” until the early 1800s, and that the esteemed Abraham Lincoln also chose to study the law through an apprenticeship in lieu of traditional courses.
Perhaps Kardashian’s ambitions aren’t so surprising given how close she was to her late father, Robert Kardashian, who famously served as a member of O.J. Simpson’s legal defense team. “My dad had a library, and when you pushed on this wall there was this whole hidden closet room, with all of his O.J. evidence books,” she told Vogue of her father, who died in 2003. “On weekends I would always snoop and look through. I was really nosy about the forensics.
