True Blood is known for many things: Gore, death, nudity, sex... more nudity.

But clashes in the courtroom? Issues are typically settled in other ways in Bon Temps.

However, Courtney Ford has confirmed to TV Guide that she'll be reprising her role of Portia Bellefleur (the great-great-great-great granddaughter of Bill Compton) on at least one episode of True Blood Season 6 and she teases why in an interview with the publication:

"After watching the Season 5 finale, which was pretty intense and crazy, things are getting a little heated in Bon Temps and it stands to reason that someone is going to need a lawyer," Ford says.

Viewers last saw Ford as Portia in Season 4 and can expect her return on Episode 7 this summer.

The actress has also appeared on such TV Fanatic favorites as Parenthood, Dexter and The Vampire Diaries.
