Nicole Richie's Back To School

Nicole Richie sharpens her pencils and arrives at her court-mandated driving school in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

The 26-year-old reality star has been progressing nicely and has been “in compliance” after her probation due to a DUI in 2006, according to a Los Angeles Supreme Court clerk’s account to E!

A follow-up hearing has been set for Feb. 20, 2009, where a progress report will be put together. Her appearance in court, however, is not mandated.
