Welcome to the National Paralegal Day Page!

It is official! August 6th is National Paralegal Day (NPD), now recognized in the Congressional Record. This achievement was made possible through a collaborative effort by the American Association for Paralegal Education (AAfPE), NALA – The Paralegal Association, National Association for Legal Support Professionals (NALS), and National Federation of Paralegal Associations (NFPA).

Paralegals are the quiet powerhouses of the legal profession: researchers, organizers, and problem solvers who keep cases moving and justice within reach. On August 6, we join the legal community in celebrating National Paralegal Day, a moment set aside to honor paralegals’ invaluable contributions. This blog from TypeLaw explores the history of National Paralegal Day, highlights the organizations that helped make it possible, and recognizes the essential role paralegals play in the legal profession every single day.
