The annual London Legal Walk is taking place on Monday 19 May from 5pm. A procession of walkers from all areas and levels of the legal profession and associated industries will walk from Carey Street through central London to raise vital funds for law advice agencies. Lord Thomas, the Lord Chief Justice, says: “Last year 470 teams with 7,500 walkers raised over half a million pounds. We must aim to do even better this year!” The London Legal Support Trust is hoping to attract 10,000 walkers to mark its 10th anniversary.
