Trivia: In the opening scene, when the girls are flipping through a photo album they've made for Elle, they get to a picture of her with Sally Field, and one of them remarks, "I like them, I really like them." When Sally Field won her Oscar, she said, "You like me, you really like me."
Trivia: When Elle goes to work in Washington D.C., She wears a pink outfit reminiscent of First Lady Jackie Kennedy. When her boyfriend broke up with her at the start of the first movie, he said that he needed "to marry a Jackie, not a Marilyn."
Trivia: Bruiser's mother is portrayed by the dog from the Taco Bell commercials.
Answer: Elle was in the Law School class of 2003 which graduated in Spring 2003. She became an intern in Fall 2003 thus 2003 Intern. At the end of the first movie, she is signing up new students for the Blonde Legal Defense Club under a sign that says "Welcome Class of 2004", but this is at the beginning of her second year - the new students are 2004, she is 2003.
None of that happened in any of the movies. I'm confused. Elle graduated the class of 2004 in the first movie, but the second movie takes place in 2003.
