Following on from the success of the last 2 years, Leeds Legal launches the region's largest annual volunteering initiative for the legal profession. Activities will run throughout the week commencing 12th Oct 2009.

This year the project will embrace the theme ‘World of Work' with focused sessions including ‘A Day In A Life', to gain first hand accounts of working as a lawyer, 'Why Work', exploring the benefits of work and 'My Dream & My Ideal' looking at children's aspirations and how to achieve them.

Rosemary Edwards, director of Leeds Legal and a partner at Shulmans, said 
"We are looking forward to next month's Education and Enterprise Week. It's a great opportunity for lawyers to get involved, have fun and give something back to the community".

Stephanie Burras, chief executive of Leeds Ahead, said
"This year's activities will allow the volunteers to share their experience with the children and explore all areas of working"
