The Great Legal Quiz

Lawyers are invited to become quizmasters for charity next month, and organize their own quiz or enter the national Great Legal Quiz competition on 4 November 2015. It’s all for charity, of course, and will coincide with Pro Bono Week (2-6 November). The London Legal Support Trust (LLST), which raises money for advice centres and other legal charities, will supply the questions and the posters. More information on how to get started is available on the LLST website
