Margaret Lockwood, one of Britain's film stars of the 40's and 50's, stars here as Harriet Peterson, the intuitive, tenacious and highly principled Barrister. Justice was developed from the play; Justice Is A Woman, which was broadcast in the series of plays on ITV Playhouse, in which she starred as Julia Stanford, an English Barrister who, in a Scottish court, is called upon to defend a teenager who is charged with rape and murder of a young girl.
