More than 10,000 people took to the streets this week for the London Legal Walk. The annual event now has institutional status among the legal community, attracting Supreme Court judges, government ministers, City slickers, legal aid-ers, paralegals, partners and publishing professionals. Everyone gathered outside the Law Society’s Chancery Lane headquarters before tackling the 10km walk. All funds raised for the London Legal Support trust will be distributed to free legal advice charities in London and the South East.
