Legally Blonde Keeps Inspiring Women To Go To Law School

What, like it's hard?

[Legally Blonde] is more than another romantic comedy. It’s a nod to feminism, not judging women by appearances and, of course, women in law.

The ultimate verdict on the movie should be that you don’t need a man to succeed, you can still be feminine and strong if that’s your style, and you can always brush someone’s condescending doubt about your worth with a “What, like it’s hard?”

— Haley Moss, an associate at Zumpano Patricios, in a piece she wrote on the ways Legally Blonde influenced a generation of women lawyers. Moss, a 2018 graduate of the University of Miami School of Law, is the first openly autistic female attorney in the State of Florida.
