The biggest Legal Walk outside of London took place this week in Leeds, with more than 500 lawyers raising funds for access to justice causes. 

The Yorkshire Legal Support Trust (YLST), which hosts the annual event, said they are close to meeting their target goal of £20,000. The post-work 10km walk is one of 40 legal walks organised around the country. YLST chair David Barraclough said: ‘It was a fantastic show of support from all sectors of the legal profession in Leeds.’
