Obiter has witnessed many a verbal dance in legal arguments over the years, but soon legal professionals will be entering a different kind of arena – all in the name of charity.

From courtroom to ballroom, Furnival Chambers will be hosting the Return of the Glitterball in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.

Members of the judiciary, the bar, and solicitors will compete for the Glitterball trophy (for non-Strictly Come Dancing fans think a big disco ball on a stand).

Dancers will be judged by former Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood who will head the judging panel. He’ll be joined by fellow Strictly stars Janette Manrara and Aljaz Skorjanec, who will also open the show.

Furnival Chambers said: ‘This year we will again be raising funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. [We] hope very much you will again be able to join us to raise funds for a charity which is so close to so many of our hearts.’

The audience will vote for the winners at the event in the Grosvenor House Hotel in London on 28 June. Tickets, which cost £2,000 + VAT for a table of 10, include a drinks reception, three-course dinner and wine.
