'Legally Blonde' star Reese Witherspoon was chosen as jury foreman after jurors thought she went to law school

In a recent appearance on "The Graham Norton Show," Reese Witherspoon shared that a jury once elected her foreman because they believed she actually went to law school.

"Well listen, I did not want to do jury duty," Witherspoon said on the show. "But I remember it was after ‘Legally Blonde.’ It was probably like seven years after 'Legally Blonde,' I got called for jury duty and it was in Beverly Hills. I thought, ‘Surely they’re not gonna pick me.’ They picked me for a long trial, y'all. It was probably two weeks. I was on the jury."  "I was like, ‘Y’all this is really upsetting. I definitely did not go to law school, I didn’t finish college.’ I played a lawyer in a movie once, but they fully made me the foreman and I started realizing people don’t know much about the law." Lori Bashian is an entertainment production assistant for Fox News Digital. 

She went on to explain that over the course of the two weeks, she got "very invested in this case," which she shared was a very clear "dog bite case."
