“So you guys, I did not pass the baby bar,” Kim says sullenly.

The mother-of-four explains in a confessional: “If you are doing law school the way I’m doing it, it is a four-year program instead of your typical three-year program.

“And after year one, you have to take the baby bar. This would actually harder, I hear, than the official bar.”

She said she feels like a ‘failure’

Her mentor, attorney Jessica Jackson, tries to reassure Kim in a flashback scene.

“That is extremely close on a test that most people are not taking in the middle of a pandemic,” Jessica tells the SKIMS founder.

But Kim seems defeated, saying: “I am a failure. I spent six weeks straight, 10 to 12 hours a day, studying and it was so important for me to take this. And to not pass gets your spirit down and just makes you want to give up.” 

Kourtney tries to comfort her younger sister by saying that their late lawyer father Robert would still be impressed with Kim’s ambition.

“I feel like dad would be really proud of you regardless, just the fact that you’re pursuing this,” she says. 

Khloe adds: “I think it’s highly respectable what you’re doing. I think the time that you get taken away from your family, your kids…”

Kim – – cuts in: “That’s what p**ses me off. The fact that I spent all that time away from my kids, like I can’t do it again. I don’t have time.

“To do the next test is in November. And I’m filming the ending of our show, which will be so emotional.”

Kourtney agrees, saying: “I think if you take that year off, you’re going to forget about it.” 

The state of California introduced a mandatory examination that first-year law students attending unaccredited schools must pass in order to continue their studies.

The “baby bar,” as it’s colloquially known as, is a one-day, seven-hour exam made up of four essays and 100 multiple-choice questions in Contracts, Criminal Law, and Torts.

Kim – who – previously said she was studying  and described the test itself as “really nerve-wracking” as only 20 per cent of people pass.

The quiz is mix of four one-hour essays followed by 300 multiple choice questions – and it’s a crucial step on her path to becoming a lawyer.

In 2018, Kim and teamed up with Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner to lobby for the release of Alice Marie Johnson.

Alice had been sentenced to life without parole in 1996 for her role in a multimillion-dollar cocaine ring in Tennessee.

Kim saw a video about the great-grandmother’s case and was outraged at the severity of her sentencing for a first-time, non-violent drug offence.

“She’s spent over two decades behind bars,” Kim told , the outlet where she learned about Alice’s plight.

“I think that she really deserves a second chance at life.”

After the reality star spoke with Trump about her case in the Oval Office in May 2018, Trump decided to commute Alice’s sentence the following month.

In 2019, Kim revealed she had been studying as part of a four-year internship at a law firm to prepare for her bar exams in 2022.
