The Law According to Lidia Poët - Episode 1

Matilda De Angelis stars as Lidia Poët, the first modern female Italian lawyer who saw the laws changed to prevent her practicing on grounds women shouldn’t be allowed to practice. While barred from arguing her own cases, Poët continued in the profession working in her brother’s offices or relying on other male colleagues to argue her cases in court. The first episode of the series runs through the gamut of Lidia becoming a lawyer, seeing it stripped away on the basis of sex, and working to find a way to continue the profession and help out a sole client charged with the murder of a ballerina.
