The Law in Her Hands is a 1936 American drama film directed by William Clemens, written by George Bricker and Luci Ward and starring Margaret Lindsay and Glenda Farrell.

When Mary learns that Gordon's gang was responsible for poisoning milk that caused multiple deaths, she changes her mind and refuses to continue to represent him.

In a contemporary review for The New York Times, critic Thomas M. Pryor called the script "a narrative which, despite any amount of ingenious fabrication, could hardly aspire to be more than a congenial triviality.

"[4] Critic Philip K. Scheuer of the Los Angeles Times wrote that "[p]atrons left voting it a fair hour's divertissement," with the plot twist in which Mary petitions for her own disbarment "although far-fetched, passingly clever."

However, Scheuer added: "William Clemens has directed with a rather noticeable lack of pace, the players never rising above mere adequacy in their performances.
