USC denies Rob Kardashian will study at its law school

The Gould School of Law at the University of Southern California has denied that Rob Kardashian will be studying there this autumn.

Kardashian recently posted a message on his Twitter page in which he declared his excitement about starting his studies, quipping: "School just never ends for me!"

However, the school has told The Hollywood Reporter that Kardashian - who originally graduated from university in 2009 - has not yet applied to study at the institution.

A message posted on the Gould School of Law's Twitter page also read: "Rob Kardashian is not coming here, but we wish him luck at law school."

Kardashian's late father Robert, himself a lawyer, was an undergraduate at USC and also studied at the University of San Diego law school.

He became known internationally as a defence attorney for OJ Simpson's murder trial in 1995, reactivating his licence to practice law in order to join Simpson's legal team.
