On Tuesday 9 June 2026, The London Legal Support Trust will host the London Legal Walk for the 22nd time, bringing the legal community together to support access to justice and raise funds for free legal advice agencies across London and the South East. 

Last year, over 16,000 legal professionals from over 900 organisations took on the challenge. To make this event a success, we are on the lookout for 1-day event marshals to join one of the largest single day fundraising events in the country and add value to the thousands of event attendees. We can't do this without you! 

The event is highly attended by high-ranking judiciary and hundreds of London's top law firms. Want to be part of this special day and add some new skills to your CV? Take a look below:  

 You will be positioned at a 'cheer point' along the 10km route where it will be your role to cheer and motivate walkers and offer support and encouragement whilst they go past, as well as pointing them in the right direction. Your presence alone is enough to motivate thousands across the finish line, helping us to raise as many funds as possible through a positive event experience. 

Regular email contact and a full brief will be provided so you are fully confident of supporting this event. 

Enjoy the street party after your slot!

To honour the memory of one of its former chairmen, Jacques LASSIER, Lawyer at the Bar of Paris, the International League of Competition Law (“LIDC”) has organised a competition to encourage writtenworks on the subject of competition law and especially doctoral theses.

THE COMPETITION AND THE PRIZE

Every two (2) years the LIDC awards the sum of EURO 2,000, which is known as the “Jacques Lassier Prize”(hereafter the “Prize”), to a piece of written work on the subject of competition law (anti-trust law and unfair commercial practices law including unfair competition law and intellectual property) from residents in a State represented by a national group within the LIDC, or by individual members of the LIDC.

Applicants must send to the following addresses by electronic means (info@ligue.org, murielle.chagny@uvsq.fr; jules.stuyck@kuleuven.be) their application from 1st April 2026 until 8th June 2026. Their application file shall include : a letter stating in particular their contact details (electronic and postal addresses, telephone number), an electronic version of their doctoral thesis in PDF format, a summary of the thesis of at least fifteen pages in English and in another language of the LIDC, the official transcript, when one has been made, two letters of recommendation from academic personalities other than those sitting on the Lassier Prize’s jury.

The jury may ask applicants to send two copies of their works in paper format, with it being clear that the received works will not be returned to the authors, and remain the LIDC’s property.

As far as possible, no Prize is granted ex aequo, but exceptionally, the Prize can be shared out. The jury may decide to award a special mention, which is not accompanied by the payment of any prize. The jury also reserves the right not to award the Prize.
