She captioned her selfie, "Can't wait to share all about the second chances event today at the White House. Thank you Madame Vice President."

IN HER LAWYER ERA

In May 2019, Kim revealed that she was studying to become a lawyer by participating in a four-year law apprenticeship in an interview with Vogue.

Even though her late father Robert Kardashian worked as a lawyer, she credited her choice to study law with criminal justice reform advocate Van Jones on his efforts to lower the incarcerated population.

Kim revealed to Vogue, "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 system could be so different, and I wanted to fight to fix it, and if I knew more, I could do more."

From 2019 to 2021, she studied for the Baby Bar exam, which is officially called the First-Year Law Student's Examination (FYLSX).

It's called the Baby Bar exam because it's something future lawyers will take before the actual bar exam - and they must pass before continuing their studies.

Kim failed the exam twice but passed the third time.

The makeup icon said, "Don’t ever give up even when you are holding on by a thread, you can do it!!!!! Set your mind to it and get it done because it feels soooooo good once you get to the other side!"

HOW IT STARTED

Before she announced she was becoming a lawyer, Kim helped set Alice Johnson free from a life sentence in prison for a nonviolent crime.

On May 30, 2018, the reality TV personality met with former President Donald Trump to fight on Johnson's behalf for her future.

A week later, Trump commuted her life sentence and granted her clemency.

It was reported that Kim heard about Alice's story via social media.

In a thank you letter to Kim from Alice obtained by TMZ, she was grateful for the star's help.

She wrote, "Ms. Kardashian, you are quite literally helping to save my life and restore me to my family. I was drowning and you have thrown me a life jacket, and given me hope that this life jacket I’m serving may one day be taken off."
