Members of the Lawyers’ Group share Classics for All’s vision: that all pupils in state schools, regardless of their ability or background, should have the opportunity to study classical subjects.
For a subscription of £12.50 per month (£150 per year), or £6.25 per month for under 30's, Lawyers' Group members enjoy free access to events per year, including our annual moot trial at the UK Supreme Court. In addition, members can:
- Join the Lawyers’ Group LinkedIn group
- Receive the Lawyers’ Group bi-annual e-newsletter
- Be listed as a member on the Classics for All website
Your membership will help more children and young people to access and benefit from Classics.
‘We think that Classics for All will be of special interest to lawyers – and we include in that term judges, academics, practitioners, and not least law firms. There are many reasons why. As well as the close historical connections between Rome, Latin and the law, we are confident that an education in Classics will not only improve the quality of education generally, but will also improve the quality of written English, and indeed the quality of reasoning and argument – obvious values for lawyers in particular.’ - Lord Dyson, former Master of the Rolls, and Sir Francis Jacobs KCMG KC.
The Lawyers Group is led by a Steering Committee of:
Lord Justice Andrew Edis (Chairman)
William Arnold
Davina Given
Dr Liz McKnight
Andrew Onslow KC
Mohan Rao
Mark Baldock

‘I loved the mock trial and visiting the Supreme Court. My highlight of the day was seeing such serious lawyers and a judge bringing so much enthusiasm and unseriousness.’ Leo, Classics for All Greek Academy student, Year 11
‘I am delighted to be taking part in this wonderful project, and look forward to working with the young people, the legal profession and reacquainting myself with some of the wonderful writers of antiquity.’ Rt Hon Lord Justice Edis, Chairman, Steering Committee
