A trial attorney? I could see it she wanted to be like a corporate attorney or real estate or something, where your character as a person isn't relevant. How is she going to empanel a jury without potential jurors having preexisting feelings about her trustworthiness? "Yeah, she seems sincere, but remember that time on her reality show where she was faking tears for sympathy?"

I don't know her, or how competent she would be at trial, and anyone can be anything they want to be. But also, recognize that choices have consequences. Maybe trading dignity for fame and fortune means you don't get to live any dream you like.

the act of persuasion involves a degree of acting

I think her dad was a trial attorney. Maybe that has influenced her interest (and possibly there's some hidden genetic talent there too).

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 24 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I think her dad was a trial attorney.

Yeah, defended some minor sportsman. It's not like the family name only got famous through the blood of innocent victims or anything like that. The Kardashians were picked up by MTV back then only by pure happenstance.

[–] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

Wait, no - I was wrong. Not a trial attorney. Not even a licensed attorney at the time of the murder. He had to get his licenced renewed to be a volunteer assistant attorney on the OJ case. BUT did create MovieTunes, the business that brought you music between movies in the theater. Huh!

she might might relegate it to a PARTNER in law, she will advise said partner, rather than representing a case?

[–] Doubleohdonut@lemmy.ca 90 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Isn't there an infamous video of her dad removing a briefcase (evidence) from OJ's house in front of reporters? I'd be deeply suspicious of any lawyers from that lineage.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 26 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Did OJ not get away with it?

[–] Ganbat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Robert Kardashian was part of OJ's defense. There was speculation that the bag contained evidence of the murders. When the bag was entered into evidence, its contents were not. Kim Kardashian claims she went through it at the time and it only contained toiletries.

[–] Doubleohdonut@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 days ago

So she's saying she handled the contents of the bag before it was entered into evidence?

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 days ago

Sounds a lot like they got away with it. I'm not saying what they did is right, I just think it sounds like the perfect kind of lawyer for the federal admin of today.

Kim Kardashian claims she went through it at the time and it only contained toiletries.

Because toiletries are naturally the kinds of things you find a briefcase, right?

[–] Ganbat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 days ago

It was apparently described as a "Louis Vuitton bag". I don't know what it actually looked like.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 days ago

I'm sure the child remembered what she saw in a bag...

[–] Boozilla@lemmy.world 59 points 4 days ago (1 children)

plans to leave fame behind

Sssssuuuuuure you do. People like her are a fame tautology. They're famous because their famous.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They feed on it. They're attention vampires.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 3 days ago

botox vampires.

[–] malle_yeno@pawb.social 30 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Her dad is Robert Kardashian, who helped defend OJ for murder. Her wanting to become a trial lawyer isnt that surprising.

edit: wrong robert, though Shapiro was also on the team

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Wait I thought Caitlin Jenner was her dad? (Well, mom now but you get what I mean.)

I'm so confused about how that family works. Why do they have two last names? Divorce?

[–] malle_yeno@pawb.social 6 points 3 days ago

Yep, they divorced and then mom married into the Jenners. Kim et al. were born when Robert was the dad though, so no last name change for them. The kids that came about after would have been called Jenner.

Odds on Trump appointing her to the DoJ?

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 days ago

Not 0% which is a crazy thing to speculate. I say that because she was friendly with trump while a$ap was in jail.

I actually think she would be an improvement from the current DoJ.....what a crazy time to be alive.

Kim Kardashian, Attorney General.

Lmao. It’s already evil. Might as well make Dotard’s government hilarious too.

Oh, she's going to take up her father's heritage? What's next, the younger sister trying to become an Olympic runner?

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

Trial law is incredibly difficult. Even if you’re not chasing billable hours, you have deadlines, procedures, sleeping at the office, doc review, managing people, being managed by partners or other attorneys, travel….the list goes on.

Only a few people stay in it, either for he money or they chase the stress.

I suspect she will be used to bring attention to a law firm. It’s not unusual to have attorneys that do little work but have connections.

Hunh. Good for her.
