Get your aprons at the ready for the Great Legal Bake, in the week of 9-13 February. All you need to do is whip up some cookies or sort out some quiches, sell them to your colleagues and hand over any dough raised to free legal advice charities, the London Legal Support Trust and the Access to Justice Foundation. Lawyers will be heading to the kitchen all over the country, so you will be in good company. Last year, more than £10,000 was raised.
