Walk (or run) the Thames in support of access to justice this autumn with the London Legal Support Trust (LLST). It’s a picturesque stroll or jog covering either a full or half marathon (your choice) on Saturday 27 October starting at 8.30am or 12pm. The route begins at Norton Rose Fulbright’s office by Tower Bridge or (for the later start) in Putney, finishing at Hampton Court. Meanwhile, trivia buffs can look forward to the Great Legal Quiz on Thursday 1 November. For information on both events, see www.londonlegalsupporttrust.org.uk.
