* BigFishInABiggerOcean: At UCLA, Elle was the beloved sorority president with a hot boyfriend she was sure she was going to marry. Once she arrives at Harvard Law to win him back, she is completely out of her element, where no one takes her seriously and she gets thrown out of class the first day. She eventually overcomes this, not only winning a huge case her first year but becoming the class-elected speaker two years later.

*AntiEducationMama: Downplayed with Elle's parents. When she brings up the idea of going to law school (to follow Warner), they are skeptical, thinking, like Warner, that Elle is too pretty to be serious and go to law school. They don't ultimately stand in her way (and in [[Theatre/LegallyBlonde the musical]] actually agree to pay the tuition if she gets in), but Elle later remarks that she doesn't think her parents take her seriously because of this.
