On Tuesday, 8 March 2011, Lord Neuberger of Abbotsbury, the Master of the Rolls,

visited the Tuesday evening clinic of the South Westminster Law Centre.

Lord Neuberger is the Centre’s Patron, having been appointed in 2010 following the

death of the previous Patron, Lord Bingham, Lord Chief Justice. This was Lord

Neuberger’s first visit to the Centre.

Lord Neuberger spent about an hour and a half at the Centre, being conducted

around by Richard Walford of Serle Court chambers, the Chairman of the Trustees

and founder of the Centre. He chatted to volunteers and listened to discussions with

clients.

It was a busy evening at the Centre with advice being given to some 20 clients.
