London Legal Support Trust: taking to the skies for 2023

The London Legal Support Trust (LLST) is kicking off 2023 with a host of new challenges to raise money for crucial free legal advice services in London and the South East.

There are plenty of options for fundraising daredevils, with a 250ft abseil taking place on 22 April and a tandem skydiving challenge on 8 July. A Spartan 10km race, featuring obstacles, water, mud and more, will be held on 30 April, and a cycle challenge along the famous 55-mile route from London to Brighton is taking place on 10 September.

For those less athletically inclined, the 2023 calendar also features some more peaceful opportunities to fundraise, including the Great Legal Bake, the Great Legal Quiz and more.

Non-molestation orders are meant to be the frontline defence against domestic abuse, yet their enforcement often falls short. Writing in NLJ this week, Jeni Kavanagh, Jessica Mortimer and Oliver Kavanagh analyse why the criminalisation of breach has failed to deliver consistent protection
Assisted dying remains one of the most fraught fault lines in English law, where compassion and criminal liability sit uncomfortably close. Writing in NLJ this week, Julie Gowland and Barny Croft of Birketts examine how acts motivated by care—booking travel, completing paperwork, or offering emotional support—can still fall within the wide reach of the Suicide Act 1961
