Legal professionals will be brushing up on their trivia this week in time for next Wednesday’s Great Legal Quiz, on 8 November. More than 65 teams have already signed up. The quiz supports National Pro Bono Week. Questions are provided by TV’s 15-1, the Million Pound Drop and £100K Drop quizmaster, and are based on general rather than legal knowledge. Sign up, find a venue and charge an entry fee. The London Legal Support Trust (LLST) will provide the question and answer sheets.
Meanwhile, the Great British Bake Office may be over but the Great Legal Bake has yet to start. The annual dough-fest runs from 12-16 February 2018, and the icing on the cake is that all money raised goes to charity. Last year, an impressive 250 bakes took place, raising £33,000 for the LLST, which helps law centres, not-for-profit ventures and other organisations that provide free legal advice. Taking part is easy. All you need to do is register, find some enthusiastic bakers and sell your cakes to colleagues. Rolling pins at the ready!
