Congratulations to 2016's Great Legal Quizzers!

The Great Legal Quiz, has raised over £3,000 nationally so far! 
A big thank you to those who took part!
As part of National Pro Bono Week, over 70 organisations signed themselves up for the biggest quiz of the year. Yorkshire Legal Support Trust teams tested their knowledge of everything from films to the Olympics to raise funds in support of access to justice in Yorkshire.
 
A big thanks to teams from Bond Dickinson (Leeds), Harrowells, Leeds Beckett University Junior Barristers Society, University of Bradford Law Society, University of Huddersfield Legal Advice Clinic, University of York, Young Legal Aid Lawyers Sheffield and Zenith Chambers.
 
Topping the fundraising leader board in Yorkshire so far are the fabulous Harrowells who raised an amazing £160.00! However, funds are still coming in and we’re confident that this will be the most successful Great Legal Quiz yet!
 
All teams did a great job in raising money, and we are very grateful to everyone for pulling out all the stops to raise as much money as possible to support access to justice in Yorkshire.
 
The charities supported by The Great Legal Quiz help thousands of people every year gain access to justice. These charities are often the last resort for people facing difficult and distressing legal circumstances but without the resources to pay for private legal advice. Without this charitable work many vulnerable people would be left alone to navigate the court and justice system without any advice or support.
 
The national winners will be announced very shortly – watch this space!

​It is time to warm up those brains as the Great Legal Quiz is fast approaching. If you would like to take part, there is still time for you to join us by registering here.

We currently have 7 teams signed up in Yorkshire, all raising vital funds to support access to advice for all. 
 
The Quiz is completely self-run: we supply the questions and advertisement posters. Advice organisations can use the Great Legal Quiz to fundraise completely for their own organisation or if you are not an advice organisation then you can split the funds 50/50 between the YLST and a charity of your choice. All you need to do is sign up and prepare to get quizzed!

The charities supported by the Great Legal Quiz help thousands of people every year gain proper access to justice. These charities are often the last resort for people facing difficult and distressing legal circumstances but without resources to pay for private legal advice. Without this charitable work, many vulnerable people would be left alone to navigate the court and justice system without any advice or support. 

We are very excited for Wednesday and we hope that you all are too! But please keep spreading the word and get as many people involved as possible, the questions will not be law-focused so anyone with any general knowledge is invited to participate.

​We are so grateful to everyone taking part, the event would not be possible without your contribution.
