The legal profession united on the streets of London this week in support of the London Legal Support Trust.
The Master of the Rolls, Lord Neuberger, donned his walking boots along with around 5,000 judges, law students, magistrates, City partners, legal support staff, solicitors and barristers in the seventh annual London Legal Sponsored Walk.
The 10km hike, which started at the Royal Courts of Justice and finished on Chancery Lane, via Buckingham Palace, was followed by an after event disco with magicians and Mr Doo’s stilt-walking jugglers.
This year’s event was part of the wider Walk for Justice which saw thousands of lawyers and legal staff taking part in a week of events country-wide.
Bob Nightingale, chief executive of London Legal Support Trust, said: “Last year’s walk alone prevented the closure of three important services, increased infrastructure for legal advice agencies and led to the opening of a new Law Centre in Harrow.
“At a time of imminent cuts to public provision, generating the largest possible fund is critically important.”
