Kim Kardashian has spoken out about how she wants to work towards abolishing the death penalty once she's a lawyer.

The 40-year-old reality TV star and aspiring attorney spoke about following in the footsteps of her late father, Robert Kardashian, and her civil rights ambitions in an interview with Vogue.

In the interview in question, Kim stated: "Abolishing the death penalty is, like, so high up my list."

Take a look at Kim's comments in the video below:

She continued:

"And as I have clients that, you know, have gone through close situations like Julius Jones in Oklahoma City that I'm really fighting for.

"It really makes you stop and just feel that you can't sit still until they right all of these wrongs."

Kim explained that she spends 18 hours a week studying law under the guidance of Jessica Jackson, Van Jones, and Erin Haney, with the aim of one day establishing her very own law firm.

Kim also spoke about the fact that her reality TV show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, is coming to an end, stating:

"It's really crazy to look back and just to think 20 seasons. That's a long time. I think my most emotional time was when we told our crew that we weren't going to go forward after season 20.

"I think I was also super emotional when my audio girl [Erin Paxton] gave me my mic. She gave me the original mic that I started with and gave every family member - exactly how it was labeled...And it's just really special."

She then spoke about how much her voice had changed since the premiere of the first series, stating: "That's the biggest mystery to me and my sisters. We are blown away. We have no idea what happened to our voices,' the reality star laughed.

"We have completely different voices. I look back and I think, oh my god, there's so many embarrassing things that are on TV for the world to see.

"But then you have to kind of, just, understand that I'm so grateful for also the evolution because I've learned so much. So I'm happy that we were able to be on for so long for people to see that."
