The 2003 movie "Legally Blonde II" (directed by C. Herman-Wurmfeld) tells the story of Elle Woods, a graduate of Harvard
Law School who goes to Washington D.C. to work as a legislative aid in order to help push through legislation against animal testing. The paper shows how the movie gives a fairly accurate depiction of the modern
political process, although its real flaw is that it overemphasizes the power of the people in the political process.
