Justice(1971)

Justice is a British legal drama that aired on ITV from 1971 to 1974, spanning 39 episodes. Margaret Lockwood stars as Harriet Peterson, a pioneering female barrister practising in the North of England during an era when women in the legal profession were rare. Produced by Yorkshire Television, the series evolved from a 1969 ITV Playhouse episode called Justice Is a Woman, in which Lockwood played a similar role. The show explores the professional and personal challenges Peterson faces as she navigates courtroom battles and provincial life. With William Walton's Crown Imperial as its theme, Justice captures the complexities of criminal law and the determination required to succeed in a male-dominated field.
