Mumbai : Actress Richa Chadha will essay the role of a lawyer for the first time on screen. She spent a lot of time to research for it and also took inspiration from others, including actress Sarah Paulson.

She is currently busy shooting for courtroom drama "Section 375".

"When I first saw 'The people v. OJ Simpson', I was floored by the phenomenal portrayal of prosecutor Marcia Clark that (actress) Sarah Paulson essayed. I took to watching the show again for playing my part in 'Section 375'," Richa said in a statement.

"Also, Gloria Allred... her documentary is so detailed and covers her life so incredibly... to be the pioneer woman who fought such landmark women's rights cases," she added.
