They are also often perceived as epithets of powerful career women and hence their symbolic function goes beyond the realm of the law. This paper gives a brief overview of female lawyers from early examples in Saenz de Heredia films, to the female lawyer in <em>Anillo de oro\/Wedding Rings<\/em> (1983), to more recent representations in TV series, examining in what way the public\/private, law\/justice, reason\/emotion dichotomies are played out in female lawyers\u2019 public performances and private lives.<\/p>\n<p>The second part of the paper offers a close reading of the female lawyer in <em>La suerte dormida\/Sleeping Luck<\/em>, whose personal tragedy encourages her to become a heroine lawyer for the socially disadvantaged. It explores a female filmmaker\u2019s representation of a woman lawyer fighting for a lost cause (Gonz\u00e1lez Sinde 2004) and examines how she reconciles her moral reasoning with conflicting demands and obligations of her profession. <\/p>\n<p><strong>12.00PM \u2013 1.00PM<br \/>\nTUESDAY 26 APRIL 2016<br \/>\nCANTOR 9137<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>See <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.shu.ac.uk\/c3riimpact\/seminars-201516\/\">here<\/a> for details of other seminars in the series.<\/p>\n<p>All SHU staff and students are welcome to attend the C3RI Lunchtime Research Seminars.
