About Law & Disorder Completion and Quizes

Our first competition was a John Fytit look a like competition there were a number of senior lawyers put forward by their staff but the winners were never identified or in most cases informed. Then there was the more successful 3 minute legal quiz taken over 1,000 times. The legal cartoon competition started in about 2008 and is an annual event. It attacts submissions worldwide, mostly captions.
