It has been done before, but not nearly enough, I feel. So, I present to you my rendition of the Ace Attorney Legally Blonde AU. I think about this when I'm at work a lot so I need to write it down or it'd be more of a waste of time then it has been.

Obviously Phoenix (in Feenie form) is our Elle. He is basically a Walmart brand, mlm Elle Woods, to be honest. He's excitable, wears bright clothes, changed his career track to law from a completely different major, and had a toxic relationship that cost him a lot in his early 20s that he comes out the other side of better. He is Elle Woods.
Edgeworth is a bit more complicated. Phoenix became a lawyer for Miles, yes, the same way Elle went to Harvard for Warner. However, Miles is traumatized and emotionally distant, he's not just a complete douchebag like Warner. So I propose he takes on the love-interest role of Emmet, but the sort of class adversary of Vivian. If Wright is Feenie, Miles is Bratworth (repressed, pompous, and kinda mean) and he is not the "help out of the goodness of my heart" type at that age. He'll come around, though (just like Vivian).
Now for the mentor aspect of Emmet: Mia! Mia is a bit older than Phoenix, so her being a TA during his first year works. Not to mention Ms. Fey got Phoenix to where he is now canonically. She is written for this role and slots into it perfectly in this AU.
Kristoph is Callahan because they are both manipulative sleazebags. I have seen this on other people's versions of this AU and completely agree. Yes, he does hit on Feenie. Yes, it is very uncomfortable. And he will pay for it.
And, of course, Dahlia is the one that breaks Feenie's heart at the beginning. I am still debating in my head whether she is going to law school or not, but she has the same line of reasoning as Warner. Feenie isn't serious enough and she's grown out of their relationship. If she is going to law school, that sets it up as basically the plot of the original film.
Even if he isn't following Miles to law school in this version, Phoenix is ecstatic that Edgeworth is there. Their reunion probably doesn't go so well, Feenie not knowing that Miles is an angry, repressed individual now that doesn't do warm, familiar greetings. Phoenix probably calls him "Miles" instead of "Edgeworth" and he gets upset.
There are four internship spots and, for The Drama, Feenie, Bratworth, Dahlia, and Doug (Dahlia's ex-boyfriend from Turnabout Memories) get the spots. Mia is the TA, so she gets the role of co-counselor for Kristoph. Phoenix flexes his bluffing skills with a little encouragement from Mia and wins the case.
This one is just for fun: Larry Butz is Brooke Windam. Instead of being accused of killing Cindy Stone, like in the first game, he has a sugar mommy he gets accused of murdering.

And that is as far as I've gotten. Feel free to share your ideas with me about this AU, I love reading stuff like that. Thanks for reading :)

YES I THINK ABOUT THIS AT WORK CONSTANTLY DHHDNFNFN

There are a few great animatics, but other than that, I agree there isn't NEARLY enough Ace Attorney/Legally Blonde AU content.
