What happens

Justice is a British drama television series that originally aired on ITV in 39 hour-long episodes between 8 August 1971 and 16 October 1974. Margaret Lockwood stars as Harriet Peterson, a female barrister in the North of England. It was made by Yorkshire Television and was based loosely on Justice Is a Woman, an episode of ITV Playhouse broadcast in 1969 in which Lockwood had played barrister Julia Stanford. The theme music is Crown Imperial by William Walton. The series was repeated in the UK by Talking Pictures TV in 2021/22. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
