The novel was the basis of the 2001 film Legally Blonde which starred Reese Witherspoon and its 2003 sequel Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, as well as the 2007 musical Legally Blonde and the 2009 direct-to-video film Legally Blondes.

The novel was based on Brown's experiences while enrolled in Stanford Law School.
