This is… not how I remember law school.
Listen, everything about Kim Kardashian’s life is different from most people. She inhabits a world of glamour/artifice that makes pretty much everything a little unrelatable, and that goes for her law school experience too. (Okay, technically Kim isn’t in law school, what with not having a bachelor’s degree and all. But she is studying via apprenticeship to be a lawyer, and she even has plans to take the bar exam in 2022.)
Managing Partners are Navigating the AI Inflection Point.
New executive research from Ari Kaplan explores how law firm leaders are responding to changing client expectations, evolving economics, talent transformation, and AI governance.
In a recent Insta post Kim K. posts pics of her ostensibly studying… all the while preening for the ubiquitous photographer in her life. Which is, not the best method for acing law school tests.
Some of Kim K.’s famous friends responded to the post, with country music star Kacey Musgraves quipping, “Elle Woods wishes,” and TV personality Jonathan Cheban commenting, “What law school is this??? Asking for a friend LOL.”
Beyond Recall And Precision: Strategic Oversight Of AI Managed Review
AI can accelerate document review, but metrics alone aren't enough. Learn how Managing Attorney oversight turns AI-driven review into a more adaptive, strategic and defensible process.
Faithful Above the Law readers will be familiar with Kim’s social media documentation of the process. She shared a criminal law issue spotter that cast Justin Bieber as a criminal mastermind and Tiger King hypos, complained about the fact that law student life sucks, explained that she neglected her Keeping Up With the Kardashians livetweeting duties to keep up with torts homework, bailed on summer holiday festivities as she continued with her contracts homework, and dealt with personalized questions all about her. She even has a favorite law professor — University of Washington contracts professor Steve Calandrillo — who she’s shouted out on Insta. Though occasionally she has a “just like us” moment, like when she posted about shooting tequila while studying torts.
