Paralegal Day: A Holiday for Businesses Too

Paralegal Day is celebrated annually on October 23 to recognize the hard work and dedication of paralegals. Paralegals are legal professionals who provide support to attorneys and law firms. They perform a variety of tasks, including legal research, drafting documents, preparing for trial, and communicating with clients.

The history of Paralegal Day can be traced back to 1993, when the Texas Senate Concurrent Resolution 69 was signed into law. This resolution declared October 23 as Texas Legal Assistants Day. In 2009, the Texas Senate issued Proclamation No. 1144, declaring October 23 to be Texas Paralegal Day indefinitely.

While Paralegal Day is a relatively new holiday, it has quickly become a popular way to celebrate the contributions of paralegals to the legal profession. Many law firms and paralegal organisations host events and activities on Paralegal Day to show their appreciation for their paralegals.

Here are some ideas for how to celebrate Paralegal Day:

• Send a thank-you note or email to your paralegal(s). Let them know how much you appreciate their hard work and dedication.

• Take your paralegal(s) out to lunch or dinner. This is a great way to show them your appreciation and get to know them better on a personal level.

• Give your paralegal(s) a gift. This could be anything from a gift certificate to their favourite coffee shop to a new book on legal research.

• Nominate your paralegal(s) for an award. Many paralegal organisations offer awards to recognize outstanding paralegals.

• Attend a Paralegal Day event. Many law firms and paralegal organisations host events and activities on Paralegal Day. This is a great way to network with other paralegals and celebrate the profession.

Regardless of how you choose to celebrate, Paralegal Day is a great opportunity to show your paralegals how much you appreciate them.
