The Great Legal Quiz 2025

Last Thursday evening brought an exciting gathering of over 200 participants at The Great Legal Quiz. This event is run annually across the UK in various regions in order to raise money for The Access to Justice Foundation.

The Access to Justice Foundation works to ensure that everyone can access legal help when they need it most. Funds raised from events like The Great Legal Quiz directly support this mission by providing grants and bursaries to organisations that offer free legal advice and representation.

The event was filled with festive cheer, sharp minds, and a strong spirit of competition. Beyond the fun and games, the night raised an impressive £975 for The Access to Justice Foundation!

The quiz was expertly hosted by Professor Russell Sandberg, who kept the crowd entertained and motivated throughout the evening. A big thank you also to our headline sponsor Yolk Recruitment Ltd - their partnership helps us put on events like this that bring the legal community together.

The night’s top prize went to Slater and Gordon Lawyers (UK)- well done team! Alongside the main quiz winners, several participants took home prizes from the raffle and the Christmas jumper competition.

The Power of Community Support

Raising nearly £1,000 for The Access to Justice Foundation was no small feat. This achievement was made possible by the generosity of local firms and organisations who donated fantastic raffle prizes.

The raffle prizes came from a diverse range of supporters, including:

• Howells Solicitors

• Alun Jones Family Law

• Watkins and Gunn Solicitors

• Slater and Gordon Lawyers (UK)

• Blake Morgan LLP

• Eversheds Sutherland

• Cardiff City Football Club

• Slater Menswear

• Flight Club Darts Escape Rooms Cardiff

• Brother Thai

• The Glee Club

• Roxy Leisure Ltd - Roxy Ball Room & Roxy Lanes

• The Piano Works Group

• Rhostio Roastery

Events like The Great Legal Quiz rely heavily on the dedication of volunteers. The Committee members, some of whom joined recently, worked tirelessly behind the scenes to organise and run the event. Their commitment as volunteers is the backbone of the quiz’s success.
