Lawyers are donning their pinnies and practising their icing skills ahead of the Great Legal Bake next month, held as part of Pro Bono Week (3–7 November)

Some 40 teams have already entered the annual baking event, organised by the London Legal Support Trust to raise money for free legal advice charities.

For those who prefer the outdoors, make the most of the autumn sun on 4 October by joining Lord Justice Haddon-Cave, Lord Justice Fraser and Mr Justice Constable on a run from Tower Bridge to Putney, at this year’s Walk the Thames. Walkers can join Sir Peter Gross and Judge Jill Brown.

For more about both events, see londonlegalsupporttrust.org.uk.

NLJ this week: Promises broken on non-molestation orders?
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
NLJ this week: Assisted dying under the legal microscope
Assisted dying remains one of the most fraught fault lines in English law, where compassion and criminal liability sit uncomfortably close.
