Walk the Thames

Fancy an autumnal walk while raising valuable funds for law charities? 

Then join in with Walk the Thames on Saturday, 14 October—a half or full walking marathon along the river Thames. Start at 9am from Tower Bridge and walk the whole marathon to Hampton Court or stop halfway in Putney.

If you prefer, join in with the walkers at Putney and walk the second leg to Hampton Court. Lord Justice Haddon-Cave will be running the whole way—keep pace with the lycra-clad judge if you can or enjoy a slower pace and proceed at a gentle stroll.

Sir Peter Gross will be leading the walkers from Putney.

Sign up at londonlegalsupporttrust.org.uk.

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
