More than 10,000 people strode through the Capital’s streets at last week’s London Legal Walk. If you missed that, however, do not despair as the London Legal Support Trust (LLST) has more events planned. On 6 June, it’s the ABC Chambers Solutions golf event at Bishop Stortford Golf Club. On 8 June, choirs of City law firms and chambers will sing in Westminster Hall with Lesley Garrett, supported by the National Symphony Orchestra. On 20 June, the LLST’s annual golf competition takes place at Verulam Golf Club in St Alban—try for the Magna Carta Cup or the King John Shield. On 10 July, it’s the British 10K Run. The LLST still has 20 places left for anyone who can raise at least £50. On 23 July, it’s mud and more mud at “Survival of the Fittest”.

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.
