KATIE HOLMES’ next starring role may be in a courtroom– but it won’t be on “Law & Order”!
The 34-year-old divorced mom has decided to make a major career change, sources say, and may soon be headed to law school!
“Katie started acting when she was a teenager, and she’s grown tired of that world,” said a source.
“She expressed a keen interest in law while splitting from Tom Cruise, and now that the divorce is finalized, she has the time, the money and the opportunity to go to school.
“More importantly, she wants to be a strong female role model for her daughter Suri.”
The “Dawson’s Creek” star sparked rumors of a career change when she was spotted sitting in a Big Apple courtroom on Jan. 9 while watching her prosecutor pal, Leigh Bishop, deliver an opening statement.
