Last night’s London Legal Walk raised £575,000 for charities that provide free legal
advice in London and the South East. This is a record sum for the 10km sponsored
walk which this year saw over 7,500 lawyers take part. 

Participants included senior judges, the Lord Chief Justice, the President of the
Supreme Court, the Master of the Rolls, the Attorney General and the Director of
Public Prosecutions.

The route featured some of London's legal landmarks, including the Royal Courts 
of Justice, the Law Society and Middle Temple.

The London Legal Walk is the largest of many legal walks which take place across
the country.

Bob Nightingale, Chief Executive of the [London Legal Support Trust](http://www.llst.org.uk),
said: "Obviously we can’t overcome the vast reduction in funding for advice centres
that has occurred in recent years simply through fundraising. However, what we can
and have done is to ensure that thousands of the most vulnerable people in and around
London will gain vital help that they would otherwise have been denied."
