The Lord Chief Justice, the President of the Supreme Court and the Attorney General joined over 8,000 members of the legal profession who took to the streets on Monday evening for the 10th annual London Legal Walk, organised by the London Legal Support Trust. The 10k walk started at the Royal Courts of Justice and took in London landmarks including The Mall and the Serpentine. A street party at the Law Society marked the end of the walk. Over £500,000 was raised to support free legal advice services.
